My Genes Don't Fit

A deeply poignant novel about the resilience of the human spirit when two women face unforeseen catastrophes.


Gobsmacked by medical gender bias and misdiagnosis, Jane and her daughter Meg receive no satisfactory answers explaining why they both nearly die from blood vessel ruptures within the span of a week. Not only are they reeling from stroke-like symptoms, their lives are further thrown into chaos when Jane is fired and Meg learns her boyfriend is a fraud.

 

With their lives upended, heart-wrenching choices must be made as these tenacious women learn to negotiate the world of rare diseases where information conflicts and professional opinions differ. Indeed, hope, love, and each other are the only things they can rely on as they defy impossible odds.
