“One Tick Stopped the Clock” powerfully illustrates how Lyme disease can derail your life, as well as the herculean effort it takes to get back on track.

At 25, Jennifer Crystal had just snagged her dream job as a ski instructor, when out of the blue, her health went downhill fast.

Unable to manage on her own, she landed back in her childhood bedroom, feeling hopeless and broken.

This beautifully written memoir chronicles how she ultimately regained her health—no mean feat in a world that typically denies the reality of “long-haul” Lyme disease—and found new dreams to replace those previously ripped away from her.

An informative and inspiring read.
