Review of "I Feel Okay", Author Deborah Slappey Pitts

I Feel OkayBy Deborah Slappey PittsAuthorhouse (2005)Reviewed by William Phenn for Reader Views (1/06)Deborah Slappey Pitts is a woman of great courage and determination. This lady struggled through a medical system full of practitioners because no one would admit to being an expert on the human body, especially not the medical doctors. This is Deborah's story, a story of anguish, heartache and uncertainty while trying to maintain a household, be a mother to two growing boys, work full time and still manage to keep her sanity. This woman's struggle in life was to find out what was wrong with her husband, that all of medical science could not figure out. You will see (when reading I Feel Okay) that Ms. Pitts is a very strong, God fearing woman - a woman of action and determination that will not be defeated.I Feel Okay is a heart retching saga of the Slappey family in crisis. It's a story about an illness that struck this woman's husband down in the prime of his life. He contr
acted a disease, primary amyloidosis, caused by the abnormal accumulation of protein molecules in body tissues that affects eight people out of a million. Pitts's compelling volume tells of their fight to seek answers from so many doctors and hospitals. One after another, trying different cures for what they perceived to be the problem, cures that did not work. With every attempt at a cure, hopes were dashed even further down to the pit of despair.I feel Okay is more than a story about a man with a disease. It is a story of life and faith, and how the Slappey family kept the faith against insurmountable odds. It is a story of how strong they were in the face of adversity, yet able to keep a positive mental attitude. I Feel Okay has my highest A+ rating, the book is a, "must read," in my opinion. It is well written, an exciting read and above all, a lesson in life.
