Against Medical Advice by James Patterson with Hal Friedman

Recommended by JoAnn

B Friedman

Stepping outside of his usual genre, best-selling author Patterson teams up with Cory's father, Hal, to tell Cory's story of his battle with Tourette Syndrome and OCD. Diagnosed at age 5, Cory spent the next 13 years at the mercy of doctors as they struggled to find the perfect balance of drugs to achieve a relatively normal life. Supported by his loving family, Cory eventually overcame the downward spiral with shear determination and perserverence. A heartrending story with a triumphant ending.
