          For as long as Porochista Khakpour can remember, she has been sick. For most of that time, she didn''t know why. A story of survival, pain and transformation, Sick examines the colossal impact of illness on one woman''s life. It is a journey that took Porochista Khakpour from Tehran, the town of her birth, through the major cities of America, the country she came to call home, before she eventually found a diagnosis of late-stage Lyme disease.

          Sick explores what it means to feel at home in one''s body, and also one''s country. And what it means not to.
