GRAYSLAKE, Ill., April 29, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Living with Epilepsy is undeniably difficult. It is a chronic brain disorder that briefly disrupts the brain's normal electrical activity and causes seizures, which in turn leads to disorientation, confusion and a loss of consciousness. Between forty to fifty million people worldwide suffer from it and author Amy Frey is one of them. How she dealt with it and kept moving forward is revealed for the first time with the release of her new book Seize Your Day: An Unpredictable Journey: Living Life With Epilepsy.
An official entry at this year's National Education Association book exhibit, Seize Your Day remembers Frey's constant struggles with Epilepsy, which she inherited from her mother. The author was no stranger to the world of Epilepsy - although she witnessed the many epileptic moments of her brothers, nothing could spare her from the first time she was told that she had a seizure. Prior to learning about it, she never questioned why her mother wanted to keep other people from knowing about their family's Epilepsy. The book reveals that, since that time, Frey went on to make hard adjustments by taking her disabilities and turning them into abilities. For years, she managed to expect, react and accept with a stronger spirit than if she had let Epilepsy alter her. This enduring true story will bring readers into her home - her heart - and expand their world to include the wonderful difference that people who cope with life-changing conditions bring to life.
Filled with honest and valuable insights, Seize Your Day: An Unpredictable Journey: Living Life With Epilepsy strongly emphasizes that there is never an exact wrong or right way to life. Frey's story will not only inspire people to learn more about Epilepsy but also realize that life can be lived to the fullest in unique ways.
