'Reading your book has restored my self-respectBefore I blamed myself; now I see that society is to blame for making me feel bad about my illness. It is beautifully written. It made me cry. But it is just what everyone in my position needs.' A reader of Shattered.
Lynn Michell Ph.D. is a qualified Educational Psychologist who has herself suffered from M.E. following a virus. Her two sons and three of her husband's colleagues also suffered; she and one of her sons were poleaxed by the illness for more than ten years, the other son for three years. She has written this book to explain the different experiences of M.E. sufferers with the aim of dispelling the stigma that surrounds this illness and to offer hope of a light at the end of the tunnel.
