Not long ago, Karen Duffy enjoyed a glamorous life, transitioning from calling bingo in a nursing home to becoming a VJ on MTV, a Revlon spokesmodel, and an actress in films like Dumb and Dumber. She mingled with stars such as George Clooney and Jim Carrey and was named one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" while also winning the Ernest Borgnine Look-alike Contest. However, her whirlwind existence came to a sudden halt when she was diagnosed with a rare and serious illness: sarcoidosis of the central nervous system. This condition left her partially paralyzed and in excruciating pain, often teetering on the brink of death. Despite her struggles, Duffy realized that to survive, she needed to embrace life rather than retreat from it. With humor and resilience, she faced the chaos of her life-threatening disease and ultimately found love during her darkest hours. This memoir is a gripping and inspiring account of her journey through chronic illness, showcasing her remarkable spirit and ability to find joy amidst adversity. Duffy's story is a testament to her indomitable joie de vivre and offers invaluable insights into living fully, even in the face of life's challenges.
