Publisher's Summary

There may be many guides about lupus out there, but none of them tell the story from a survivor with such unfiltered and unfathomable truths as it is told by Tonya Bowers in The Barbaric Butterfly. She takes you on her remarkable journey from the mystifying onset of her symptoms through the tumultuous battles and ultimate victory of subduing lupus (at least for the time being). 

Listeners of The Barbaric Butterfly will experience a roller coaster of emotions and feelings such as fear, joy, pain, love, laughter, rehabilitation, inspiration, and strength. Those who will benefit from listening to this audiobook include but are not limited to lupus sufferers and survivors, terminally ill patients, their friends and loved ones, counselors, doctors, and nurses. 

Not only does this audiobook describe in great detail the author's personal experiences, it also expresses the significance of having a strong will to survive and also how to remain positive, happy, and stress-free while coping with the barbaric disease called lupus.
