Amazing Amanda: My Journey Through Mito

16-year old Amanda Perrotta lost her battle with Mitochondrial Depletion Disease in November 2008, but her zest for life and her zeal to help others motivated her to write words that would be uplifting and encouraging to others with terminal illness. Bridging the gap between dry medical texts and the lives touched by any life-stealing disease, this book serves as an insider's guide to the road ahead for those and their families struggling with illness and as an insightful and often funny look at hospital stays, suffering, pain, denial, joy, and most of all, living life as the only cure for Mito.
