Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
Stacia's story is both terrifying and uplifting. The seizure she experienced were unlike any I've read about before. The courage it took for her to write openly about her life is truly amazing.
I took suffer from seizures. Although, I had a severe allergic reaction to an anticonvulsant medication and developed TENS, which has made me legally blind and nearly killed me. To this day, I can't take medication for my seizures.
I hope her story is inspiring to other people who have epilepsy to not give up!

Racing Uphill is an inspiring and powerful memoir that captures the strength and resilience of Stacia Kalinowski. A former college athlete and successful TV news reporter, Stacia’s world was turned upside down by the onset of debilitating seizures. Her journey through misdiagnosis, job loss, and ultimately brain surgery is both heart-wrenching and deeply moving. What stands out most is her unwavering determination and hope, even in the face of life-altering challenges. Her story is a testament to the power of persistence, the importance of medical research, and the strength of a supportive family. Stacia’s bravery not only led her to healing but also inspired her to create the documentary Brainstorm, bringing greater awareness to epilepsy. I highly recommend this memoir to anyone looking for a story of courage and triumph.

Thank you to NetGalley and the University of Minnesota Press for the advance digital review copy. This is my honest review.

I loved this memoir.

Very well written and inspiring and a tad scary. The scary part is all about medical situations and what they can do, but right behind that is the possibilities.....

Well written.

The author provides a thoughtful window into epilepsy—how it affects every aspect of a person’s life. Her long road to a proper diagnosis, along with the complexity of her disorder, is a testament to Stacia’s resilience and bravery. A profile in courage that is a must-read for anyone who is dealing with a chronic disease/disorder.

‘Racing Uphill’ is a story about Stacia who has to go through epilepsy throughout her life. Her story is amazing on how she overcomes it. Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for giving me an opportunity to read this book and do a review.
