"Jennifer Fulwiler told herself she was happy. She made good money as a programmer at a hot tech start-up, had just married a guy with a stack of Ivy League degrees, and lived in a twenty-first-floor condo. Raised in a happy, atheist home, Jennifer had the freedom to think for herself and play by her own rules. Yet a creeping darkness followed her all of her life. Asking the unflinching questions about life and death, good and evil, led Jennifer to Christianity, the religion she had reviled since she was an awkward, skeptical child growing up in the Bible Belt. Mortified by this turn of events, she hid her quest from everyone except her husband. And just when Jennifer had a profound epiphany that gave her the courage to convert, she was diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition, a prothrombin mutation that causes her body to produce too much of this blood clotting factor-and the only treatment was directly at odds with the doctrines of her new-found faith. A poignant, profound and often funny tale of one woman who set out to find the meaning of life and discovered that true happiness sometimes requires losing it all. Jennifer Fulwiler is a journalist and the author of the blog ConversionDiary.com where she chronicles her experiences of faith and family"--Provided by publisher.
