From The Lyme Connection:

Join Lyme Connection in welcoming Ross Douthat to the Ridgefield Library to discuss his book The Deep Places: A Memoir of Illness and Discovery.

Douthat, a New York Times opinion columnist and author, will discuss his battle with a devastating sickness, ultimately diagnosed as a chronic form of Lyme disease.

In The Deep Places, Ross details the struggles faced by many Lyme patients as they seek a proper diagnosis and appropriate medical care—and explores the controversies that surround these insidious tick-borne diseases.

During his journey, Douthat discovers the many pitfalls of modern medicine, as well as the strength and courage needed to reclaim his health.

The author will speak on Thursday, May 25, at 7 pm. The library is at 472 Main Street, Ridgefield, CT.
