2019 Foreword INDIES Award, Gold for Anthologies "Medicine still
contains an oral tradition, passed down in stories: the stories
patients tell us, the ones we tell them, and the ones we tell
ourselves," writes contributor Madaline Harrison. Bodies of Truth
continues this tradition through a variety of narrative approaches
by writers representing all facets of health care. And, since all
of us have been or will be touched by illness or disability-our own
or that of a loved one-at some point in our lives, any reader of
this anthology can relate to the challenges, frustrations, and
pain-both physical and emotional-that the contributors have
experienced. Bodies of Truth offers perspectives on a wide array of
issues, from food allergies, cancer, and neurology to mental
health, autoimmune disorders, and therapeutic music. These
experiences are recounted by patients, nurses, doctors, parents,
children, caregivers, and others who attempt to articulate the
intangible human and emotional factors that surround life when it
intersects with the medical field.
