Synopsis:
|
When he was five years old, Corey Friedman suddenly developed a mysterious and horrible condition of involuntary tics. As his family went from doctor to doctor, seeking an explanation, Corey was given so many diagnoses and treatments that it became difficult to separate his symptoms from his side-effects. Bestselling thriller author James Patterson, along with Corey's dad Hal Friedman (also a thriller writer), tell the harrowing story of a devastating illness and a screwed-up health system as terrifying as any work of fiction. Despite the awful forces arrayed against them, the Friedmans stick together as a family, and the force of their love and determination is inspirational to behold.

Author Bio:
|
James Patterson grew up in Newburgh, New York, 50 miles north of New York City. Valedictorian of his class at the Christian Brothers school, St. Patrick's, in 1965, Patterson graduated from Manhattan College with a degree in English. He first entertained the idea of becoming a writer in 1971 when he worked as a college student in a mental institution, a job that afforded him abundant time to read. He came up with the idea for his first novel during that time, and five years later, after 26 rejection slips, his first effort, "The Thomas Berryman Number", appeared in bookstores. Since that time, Patterson has written numerous best-selling thrillers featuring the sensitive, modern-day hero Alex Cross, including "Kiss the Girls", which was made into a major motion picture starring Morgan Freeman.
