Julie Rooney's memoir " 'Til Health Do Us Part" gripped me from page one. I looked forward to learning more about her incredible journey each evening.. As I read about her health struggles, agonies, and betrayals, it was almost impossible to imagine Rooney living a healthy, happy, and productive life. Yet she achieves such a life and in doing so, she gives us all hope that we can strive for a far better existence as well. I enjoyed reading Rooney's fascinating account. I know that anyone who has lost hope will be inspired after reading Rooney's holistic tour de force!

Wow! The author's story of living with and eventually getting rid of multiple chronic illnesses and successfully weaning herself off of the medications that she thought were helping her is inspiring. This is definitely one that I recommend!

'til Health Do Us Part by Julie Rooney is a full length, standalone novel. Julie Rooney is a new to me writer and I was intrigued by the title and the blurb. So why not give it a try. And I'm happy I did.
'til Health Do Us Part is a captivating read. Yes it's heavy on the medical terms side- meds and diseased are listed like no other, and it took me a minute to get into the story. But then, oh boy what a great read I discovered. And the story needs the meds and diseases mentioned.
At times it's a slow burn with characters I easily could connect with. I could connect with the chilkdren's and husband's characters, btw I'm a sucker for anti-heroes.
All in all, the story is captivating, the writing is great and I enjoyed reading the book.

One woman's journey from multiple chronic illnesses to health and well-being, facilitated by an insightful guide.

". . . and you'll also die if you do. We're all going to die. What I'm asking you is a completely different question. I'm asking you how you want to live, and whether you can answer that question while you're on drugs."

The recounted journey is long and full of drama, but ultimately uplifting.
