Really good! Engrossing! I wish I could read this book again for the first time. Set in the 80s to today, this is was a wild ride andI enjoyed every page.

The Puzzle Solver by Tracie White tells the story of Dr. Ron Davis’s fight to find a cure for CFS/ME. After his son Whitney Dafoe became ill, world-renowned genetic scientist Ron Davis chose to use his expertise and considerable influence within the scientific community to search for a cure for chronic fatigue syndrome. The Puzzle Solver does an excellent job of showing the heartbreaking toll of this poorly understood illness and the impact that the disease has on families and caregivers. As a person who suffers from chronic fatigue due to POTS, this was an incredibly emotional read. I’m so grateful to Whitney Dafoe for his courage in sharing his story, Dr. Ron Davis for his perseverance in the face of overwhelming obstacles, and author Tracie White for her faithfulness in telling this story. Your work matters to people with chronic fatigue and we appreciate you! Thank you to Hatchette Books and NetGalley for the advanced review copy.
