A turbulent romance meets a harrowing medical mystery in this true story of the author's twenty-year marriage, defined by her husband's chronic illness and a testament to love's endurance. Eleanor met Aaron as a teenager at a record store, where his electric personality captivated her. Their summer romance blossomed into a lasting relationship that survived college, leading to marriage and two children. From the outside, their life appeared successful, but beneath the surface lay typical marital stresses compounded by Aaron's untreated depression, addiction, and family trauma. When mysterious lesions appeared on his body, both Eleanor and his doctors were baffled, facing a situation with no clear diagnosis or cure. As Aaron's concerns about parasites began to dominate his thoughts, the man she loved started to unravel. This new crisis created a rift in their marriage, raising profound questions: Where does physical illness end and mental illness begin? How do we coexist with another's suffering? Emotional and at times heartbreaking, this memoir chronicles a wife's relentless quest to heal her husband while exploring the complexities of love, acceptance, and the impact of illness on a relationship. It is a poignant reflection on enduring love in the face of overwhelming challenges.
