Diversity plays an important role in how people experience illness and healthcare as patients. Listening carefully to stories of how race, class, age, gender, sexuality, and disability can affect patient experience can be revealing and provide much needed change to health communication in the patienthood narrative. This book is a collection of vibrant and engaging essays by scholars of narrative methods in health communication. Each chapter takes readers into the fascinating world of patients who use stories from their personal lives to challenge us to rethink, reimagine, and reformulate what health communication means in practice. Each section of the book focuses on an important aspect of the theory and practice of the patienthood narrative. Part one explores the important ways that telling and sharing patient's stories can lead to learning, empowerment, and advocacy. Part two explores several key forms of diversity and how they affect patienthood. Part three illustrates how personal, relational, and cultural aspects of identity intersect to shape the patient experience.

Writer and illustrator, Gina C. Browning, says some of the verses in her poetry book first came to her in her dreams as she was recovering from surgery years ago. The poems and illustrations in Moonbeam Dreams gradually evolved into a keenly rhymed, fantastical romp through a fantasy land, with weird and wonderful characters for readers of any age to enjoy. Her poetry truly is for the young at heart. Browning thinks her dreams are fun and adventurous, as she always looks for the positive side to everything. Her book encourages children not to be afraid of the dark, and to believe in themselves and their abilities so that almost anything is possible. Browning says dreams can come true either in daylight or night if you believe in them strongly enough.
Wind in the Aspens is a different Gina Browning. This collection of
her poetry allows us to perceive a woman growing into an
understanding of the sparseness of life. Without blinking, she lets
us observe secrets usually kept concealed beneath the folds of
flamboyant opera dresses and personifications kept hidden away in
operatic characters. What we find here are not pretty song lyrics,
but rather a deep wondering, a certain coming to grips with the
rawness of life, and the questions left behind, unanswered and
chilling.
