You truly feel the pain that one goes through having a chronic illness. What Flic has accomplished in her life is that much more impressive knowing what she's had to endure and overcome. So many of the battles we all face on a daily basis aren't visible to the eye, but they dominate our lives and can be lonely and crippling. Flic calls attention and awareness to those internal struggles, so those around us become gentler and more understanding to us, instead of just glossing over our battles and continuing to make us feel invisible. No book I've ever read prior to Flic's calls attention to our internal challenges in this manner. Instead of continuing to remain invisible and silent, Flic's story will change the world and help so many battling internal illnesses finally feel seen. Until reading \u003ci\u003eLiving Human\u003c\/i\u003e, you don't really have a full appreciation for the battles so many are facing on a daily basis.
