When a two hundred pound glass partition fell on Donna Fado Ivery's head
resulting in brain injury, disability, and chronic pain, she could no
longer count on walking, speaking, or thinking. How would she care for
her infant, her preschooler, her husband, and herself? How would she
continue to serve as pastor? With humor and humility, this inspirational
memoir speaks to Donna’s struggle through medical, social, and church
prejudice with the abiding support of family and the Holy Spirit. Sleep,
Pray, Heal charts the path through hardship and despair and offers a
map—through scripture, theology, poetry, painting, and storytelling—to
faith, healing, recovery and well-being. Sleep, Pray, Heal shares good
news in a novel way.
