So much is happening this week: the Olympics with the amazing one in a Malinin "Quad God" Ilia in men's singles skating, the Super Bowl LX (Go Pats!), Valentine's Day, and it's time to decide on the title of my new book!
All of you have followed my blog posts about my Stiff Person Syndrome medical trial for the past nine months. I have completed a book that chronicles my journey of living with SPS from the time I was diagnosed with the condition through my participation in Kyverna Therapeutics groundbreaking medical trial to reverse the effects of SPS. The manuscript is being professionally edited as I write. I gathered about 70 potential title/subtitle combinations and have culled the possibilities to just five. I need to choose a title before proceeding with a book cover competition.

So this is where you come in. Authors usually test book titles to see which one will attract potential readers. Since you've followed my journey, you are the perfect audience to help me pick the right title. Please browse the finalist choices below and tell me the one that resonates the most with you.
A Body Reborn: A Courageous Fight to Reverse Stiff Person Syndrome
Stiff, But Not Broken:Â A Medical Memoir of Stiff Person Syndrome and Experimental Hope
Â
A Second First Step: A Rare Disease, a Daring Experiment, and the Fight to Walk Again
Defying the Diagnosis: A Courageous Fight to Reverse Stiff Person Syndrome
Gravity and Grace: Stiff Person Syndrome, A Long-Shot Trial, and the Fight to Walk Again
Okay, now that you have a favorite (or two) please send me an email as soon as you can with your choice(s) to Brenda25.bes@gmail.com
I can't thank you enough for sharing your opinion with me. Also, you can look forward to another post asking for your help to choose the book cover in a couple of weeks.
I'll be flying back to Denver for my 9-month check-up on February 28th. So far, everything is looking very positive as I continue to regain mobility and freedom!
