Publisher's Summary:
Lyme Light is a dark comedic offbeat memoir about a girl who was an extraordinary musician but terrible at flirting, a girl who spent her life fighting against her startling past and loneliness by immersing herself in the fictional world of reruns of Roseanne and Beverly Hills 90210. Lyme Light is a story about a girl who had 13 credits left to graduate on the Dean's list from Columbia University, was playing indie rock shows in New York City, and meeting with some of the top record labels in the country, when her world was obliterated by the smallest click of a throw away camera and the smallest bite of a tick.
Author, Natalie London, takes you into the world of losing and regaining memories, the ability to walk again, talk again, and adjusting to a life of IVs to the heart and endless hours in hyperbaric chambers. She seamlessly combines disease-ridden delusions, falling in love, and early-'90s television nostalgia, all into one heartbreaking story.
Lyme Light is not your average illness memoir. London gives a voice to those who, like herself, refuse to accept the status quo of how one is supposed to deal with illness, tragedy, and trauma. Those dealing with a critical illness are convinced they are fighting tooth and nail to get their life back, however London brings the listener into the bittersweet revelation that there is no going back. In a surprising and artistic ending, she leaves listeners with a taste of another way out...a new driver's license, a new phone number, a new name...a brand new life.

Award Winning Book!
The silenced impact of Lyme Disease and Tick-borne Disease has been broken. Lyme Light is written in an entertaining and emotionally gripping story of near death and a will to survive. 300,000 people annually experience London's heart wrenching story on various levels and many more people experience her story with no voice. Thank you Natalie!
A Great Read
I picked this book up one afternoon after being intrigued by the title. I didn't expect it to be the page turner that it was. By dinner I found myself on the last page. It not only gave me insight into a disease I knew nothing about but into the strong, funny and very talented Natalie London. I hope she shares the next chapter of her life with us in another book.
I loved this book and her raw honesty at all subjects
I loved this book and her raw honesty at all subjects, not just her health. I battle my own health issues and the endless search for answers to migraines. I felt myself saying, "exactly" as I read about her struggles for answers.
A compelling story.
I have a friend with Lyme and my Dad took his own life because of Lyme disease. Although this book suffered slightly from lack of proofreading, it was well worth the time.
Honesty with humor
Excellent
