As a young teenager, Georgia Huston had a wonderful life — until a minor accident put her on a path to agonizing chronic pain that doctors were unable to diagnose.

As the pain escalated and medical specialists were baffled, her life deteriorated — leading to panic attacks, migraines, passing out, seizures, periods of paralysis, and total withdrawal from the world.

She endured test after test, X-rays, MRI's, nerve tests, brain scans, and multiple incorrect diagnoses, mind-numbing drugs, and failed therapies until she even lived in a full body cast. But this isn't a book about medical matters.

Georgia reveals the inner workings of a tortured young mind that is losing everything. Her candid view of despair and hopelessness takes teenage angst to a level of revelation that includes panic, hallucinations, and hysteria, but ultimately finds help from an unorthodox pain specialist. Georgia's doubts and fears are confronted by a medically supervised program of alternative therapies. This tortured story reflects the worst of teenage life and insecurities, but underneath it all is a message of hope.

The truthfulness of Georgia's confessions and the success of her journey have touched pain victims of all ages.
