Summary: For as long as Porochista Khakpour can remember, she has been sick. For most of that time, she didnt know why. A story of survival, pain and transformation, Sick examines the colossal impact of illness on one womans life. It is a journey that took Porochista Khakpour from Tehran, the town of her birth, through the major cities of America, the country she came to call home, before she eventually found a diagnosis of late-stage Lyme disease. Sick explores what it means to feel at home in ones body, and also ones country. And what it means not to.
