Kerri had everything going for her—a new husband, a wonderful family, and the beginning of a career. All this changed with a snap decision to eat one bite of candy. Silent Warrior – A Journey of Hope is the story of Kerri’s heroic, almost three-year battle to overcome the challenges brought on by anaphylactic shock and brain injury. From the first terrifying moments in the ICU to the daily struggles of in-home therapy and healing, the book chronicles Kerri’s journey to recovery despite resistance from the health care system, ongoing medical emergencies, the failure of insurance to address basic patient needs, and the painful setbacks that seemed to lie around every turn. In this gripping memoir that is at once heartbreaking and uplifting, I recount my warrior daughter’s valiant struggle, and demonstrates that there truly are no small miracles. It is a nonpolitical statement on the power of love and family.
