At age fourteen, Janina Marie Rivera fought a battle against Arterio-Venous Malformation (AVM), a fatal congenital condition of the brain that left her with recurring headaches and a permanent, visual half-blindness. She unveils her secret world of anxiety in the pages of this book, openly discussing her struggles to live courageously. Her story of self-acceptance, maturity, and wonder is an extraordinary testimony, especially in a time where sickness has its different, and sometimes invisible, forms.
