Review Quotes: "In Cynthia Li's spellbinding book, we encounter the moving story of a physician struggling with her own autoimmune illness. Li's writing is so intimate--and so exacting--that it cuts like a knife. She raises fundamental questions about the future of medicine, her own future, and about being a doctor and a patient at the same time. The result is a beautiful book that will be read and remembered for years to come."
