"A story of gut-wrenching perseverance and determination." - Publishers Weekly "A mesmerizing and ultimately uplifting journey."- Foreword Reviews The incredible true story of one woman's search for life saving answers. Cherie Kephart, a young woman who longed for adventure, traveled the world from the remote villages of Central Africa to the majestic coastlines of New Zealand until a mysterious illness thrust her to the precipice of death. The persistent health challenges led to years of suffering, during which her symptoms time and again were undiagnosed by well-meaning medical doctors and healers who were sometimes competent, sometimes careless, sometimes absurd, and always baffled. The anguish, the uncertainty, and the relentless pain would have caused many people to simply give up and end their lives-and Cherie came close. Told with brutal honesty, astonishing wit, and a haunting vulnerability, A Few Minor Adjustments is an unforgettable memoir that will move you with its fiercely inspirational account of one woman's incredible journey to find life-saving answers. In the end, she finds much more than a diagnosis.

This inspired Cherie to write her memoir, A Few Minor Adjustments, taking the reader on a powerful and entertaining journey through her adventures and search for life-saving answers.Her memoir has won multiple awards and received an outpouring of heartfelt responses, motivating Cherie to write a companion book, The Healing 100: A Practical Guide to Transforming Your Body, Mind, and Spirit. Her third book, Poetry of Peace, is a rare and poignant collection of poems that celebrate the decadence and darkness of life.
