"An arresting new memoir…."– Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh AirBeverly Donofrio, author of Riding in Cars with Boys, says "Dizzy is a testament to the power of hope. Weaver's courage and strength are so inspiring they encourage the same in the reader. If all of that isn't enough, the beauty and agility of the prose may make you regret reaching the last page." In her early thirties, Rachel Weaver woke up dizzy and unable to function. She spent the next ten years seeing more than thirty medical practitioners before receiving a diagnosis, and then another eight years before finding relief from her condition. Dizzy is amedical mystery and a cautionary tale about our broken healthcare system. It is a story about learning to live with life's uncertainty, persevering in the pursuit of answers, and striving to find joy in an imperfect yet beautiful world.

A mother's memoir that reckons with her son's descent into severe mental illness. What appears to be substance use disorder in high school later becomes a dual diagnosis as bipolar disorder emerges. Her son soon grows disillusioned with prescribed pharmaceuticals and participates in a residential treatment program that assists people in forgoing medication altogether. However, the program ultimately ejects him from the community for the very behaviors that the medication once managed. The book chronicles Sandler's initial denial of her truth, her painful awakening to mental illness in her family, and her eventual acceptance that she cannot save her son—only he can save himself.
