Imagine quiet broken by a snail eating. With autoimmune dysautonomia and chronic fatigue syndrome resulting from mitochondrial disease, Bailey has involuntarily spent over 20 years coping with restricted movement. This intimate account of her snail-like life challenges readers to seek calm in their own lives. (LJ 8/10)
