Produktbeschreibung
Margaret never dreamed that purchasing her newly remodeled dream cottage on the north end of Houghton Lake, Michigan would send her family's life spiraling into any parent's worst nightmare. Shortly after moving in, the family finds themselves barricaded like prisoners in their own home in a vain attempt to dodge the swarming reconstructed wetland mosquitoes. Nobody's immune to the bug bites, but one-year-old Julia's welts quickly develop into bizarre and unexplainable lesions. In a matter of short hours, baby Julia loses consciousness and ultimately her life, with no clear explanation as to why. In the midst of mourning the loss of a child, Margaret throws herself into a desperate search to identify and counter the invisible monster that took her daughter's life. Was it actually a smart vectored virus, or did it have something to do with different toxicities or some other emerging disease in their new environment? And why wasn't anyone giving Margaret a straight answer? What practices did the authorities of these "protected spaces" have to hide? This powerful memoir asks these questions, and begs one more: Should we just trust our authorities with the safety of our lives, or can we find our own answers to things that are just beyond our comprehension?

Margaret Ficaj is a mother who shared a unique life journey with her daughter Julia, for better, for worse, and forever with nature. She has chosen to become someone who works with children with disabilities, because that is who Julia would have been. She specializes in autism and owns the RISE Center for Autism, inspired by one autistic young man through whom she learned how to transfer pain to purpose. She resides with her husband Pauli in Houghton Lake, Michigan, where she enjoys time on her deck overlooking the lake, shaded by the Julia tree. She has three grown children who live in other areas of Michigan and who have blessed her with five grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
