From the outside, Davita Garfield's life looked great. But, behind her mask, Davita was tormented by emotions and experiences that she couldn't bring herself to talk about. It was only when she got sick of feeling sick that she started to open up about her symptoms, some physical, others psychological. She would not be alive today if she hadn't developed the courage to share that her outsides didn't match her insides.

This is a story about the miracles that can happen when we are brave enough, and vulnerable enough, to remove our masks and let ourselves be seen.
