It's In Your Dreams

Jaclyn had been living her dream as a wilderness instructor while guiding backpacking expeditions in the high mountains of Wyoming, when suddenly she experienced a traumatic, emotional, and frightening illness that brought her to her knees. Who knew the bite from a tiny tick could change a life in a matter of moments?

A Mainer, a lifelong lover of canoeing and camping, as well as a trained wilderness guide, Jaclyn should have been well versed in the symptoms of Lyme disease, yet her training did not prepare her for the myriad of bizarre symptoms or disabling effects of the disease or it's co-infections.

In this story, Jaclyn shares her wilderness adventures-guiding you to experience the elements of wild places through deeply moving descriptions. She brings you to the very bottom-being bed-ridden with an illness with no known cure, with no hope, while experiencing delusions, forgetfulness, and physical pain that radiates her entire body. Jaclyn takes you to the pivotal moment that led her to finally spiral out of the unknown and back to the wilderness and life in a whole different way. This tale is of an unbelievable journey back to health-a feat that left many doctors baffled.
