During a routine eye exam that Nora Gallagher nearly skipped, her doctor found a condition that if left untreated would cause her to lose her sight. And so began Nora?s departure from ordinary life and her travels in what she calls Oz, the land of the sick. This taut yet lyrical memoir tells of her experience, and gives a deeply felt meditation on vulnerability and on what it means to lose the faith you had and find something better.
