Reviews
"A fabulous book--brilliant, tender soulful. Nora Gallagher is everything I love--smart, searching, vulnerable, faithful, doubting, deeply real, and a beautiful writer." --Anne Lamott "Phenomenal. . . . May be the best book about real faith that I will ever read." --Sue Halpern, author of A Dog Walks into a Nursing Home "Part medical mystery, part critique of the American health-care system, and part commentary on modern faith." -- The Washington Post "Gallagher's memoir is about many things: illness, mortality, faith and doubt, work, busyness, navigating through the crazy quilt that is the American health-care system, and, ultimately, about regaining one's health and one's place in the universe." -- Booklist "A poetic tale of a personal medical crisis. . . . The author navigates the complex American health care system, the fear and mystery surrounding her search for medical answers and healing, and her renewed appreciation for the necessity of vision: to read, to write, and to view the world. . . . A deeply introspective journey." -- Kirkus Reviews "Poignant. . . . Gallagher does not dole out easy answers in this somber, reflective work. But she finds the humble, bracing imperative to live in the present." -- Publishers Weekly "[Gallagher] learned how illness can strip away not only the illusion of control, but also one's faith, hope, and very identity. . . . She radically redefines what faith means to her." -- The Christian Century, "Part medical mystery, part critique of the American health-care system, and part commentary on modern faith." -- The Washington Post "A poetic tale of a personal medical crisis. . . . The author navigates the complex American health care system, the fear and mystery surrounding her search for medical answers and healing, and her renewed appreciation for the necessity of vision: to read, to write, and to view the world. . . .

Synopsis
A lyrical and honest portrait of illness and the way it changes life and faith, from the award-winning author of Things Seen and Unseen . In the winter of 2009, Nora Gallagher was told she had an inflamed optic nerve, cause unknown, that if untreated would leave her blind. With this news, and the search for a diagnosis and treatment, her once busy and fast-moving life tunneled into a quieter country she calls Oz: unfamiliar, slower, deeply rooted in uncertainty and vulnerability. Moonlight Sonata at the Mayo Clinic , written as Gallagher was still recovering, is a moving meditation on serious illness, what helped her through and what didn't, why a wall exists between the sick and the healthy, and what can take it down partway. It is also a testament of modern faith--accepting of both science and intellect--and a hard-won revelation of what lies at the heart of ordinary suffering., A lyrical and honest portrait of illness and the way it changes life and faith, from the award-winning author of Things Seen and Unseen .
