This is My Body is a compelling and unforgettably powerful story of
trauma, illness, recovery and transformation, told with honesty,
courage and resilient good humour. Jennie Hogan, an Anglican
priest, has a history of brain injury and illness going back to
childhood. In this gripping memoir, memories of the athletic,
competitive and fun-loving schoolgirl jostle alongside accounts of
invasive emergency medical treatments and the long processes of
recovery. She reflects on what it means to live with uncertainty,
to become reconciled with a new identity, and how trust and hope
can be regained as a vocation flowers despite the odds. Jennie
draws on her experience and her beliefs to pose challenging
questions about our relationships with our bodies in an age that is
obsessed with body image and physical perfection. She explores the
nature of faith in times of crisis, the reality of pain and
disability, and what it means to be human and vulnerable, yet made
in the image of God.
