About the book
In a desperate bid to escape the clutches of Lyme disease, Joyce must face her deepest fears or accept that this existence will be forever. Despite the support of her Aunt Beth and best friend Logan, her young life is slipping away. After nearly a decade of being housebound, Joyce finds herself with no education, no money, and no home to call her own. She must now find her own way in a word she no longer recognises but just as she does so, her path turns in the most unexpected way. Can she overcome the damage that this disease has done? Can she find happiness within a life with Lyme disease?
Morven-May MacCallum is the debut author of Finding Joy – an honest, humorous and heart wrenching story of a family’s fight against Lyme disease. Since the publication of Finding Joy and the sequel, Keeping Joy, Morven-May has dedicated her life to raising awareness about Lyme disease – an illness that left her housebound and bedbound for over eight years. Morven-May uses her passion for writing to help campaign about Lyme disease at a political level and also by giving talks across Scotland in schools, bookshops, literary and charity events and by speaking on TV and Radio.
