"Slater examines memories of her youth, when after being diagnosed with a strange illness she developed seizures and neurological disturbances and the compulsion to lie. Openly questioning the reliability of memoir itself, Slater presents the mesmerizing story of a young woman who discovers not only what plagues her but also what cures her - the birth of her sensuality, her creativity as an artist and the act of storytelling as an act of healing"--Page 4 of cover.
