Backbone is a life-fulfilling note about managing persistent pain and living a life of purpose. For two generations, Karen Duffy, New York Times bestselling publisher, ex - MTV VJ, Revlon model, and celebrity, has managed to live an enriching life despite residing in circumstances of frequent pain. On this powerful, inspirational, funny, and important manual for making it through pain, Duffy pulls on her behalf experience as an individual advocate, trained recreational therapist, and hospice chaplain to illuminate gratifying methods people can use to handle persistent pain and reinforces the sentiment that "circumstances determine our lives, but we condition our lives with what we make of circumstances" (Sir John Wheeler Bennet). More than one-third of the united states population - nearly one hundred million People in the usa - happens to be living with persistent pain, while another 133 million People in the usa live with some type of chronic illness. Half of the US human population is suffering from these invisible health problems where their symptoms are not always clear to the informal observer. Duffy herself is suffering from sarcoidosis, a problem that triggers the expansion of inflammatory cells on different organs of the body. In her case, her sarcoidosis is found in her brain, creating her unimaginable pain. Backbone is perfect for the massive human population of victims who are eager to be known and helped, and transmits the note that despite the pain, there's a way to a good life.
