Find out why Lindsey Schocke of Endomagazine.com says Endometriosis - One Women's Journey is " definitely a keeper".

Read what book Author Mary Shomon has to say about "Endometriosis - One Women's Journey".

"My name is Darrin Ambrose, I'm 20 years old, and recently I started "dating" a girl who has endometriosis. When she first told me that she had the disease I was, as anyone would be, a little scared. I had never heard of endo before and definatly knew nothing about it."

"Now I'm usually the one who's calm and collected, the one who my friends come to when they need someone to talk to, but how could I possibly be a 'crying shoulder' when I had no idea what this girl was crying about? For once I didn't really know what to do, I was lost and even a little intimidated. Sitting there listening to her stories, I could see the pain in her eyes and feel the pain in my heart. I decided that I had to do something, I couldn't sit by and watch someone I care about, go through this all by herself. I tried to learn everything I could about endometriosis. Reading and re-reading books, browing through websites writing countless emails to physicians and support groups, devouring every piece of information I could. Then I came across your book. I just finished reading your book about 15 minutes ago. After reading such an inspirational and touching story I felt compelled to write you, and let you know just how much your book meant to me. This book wasn't just pages and a cover, this book was a detailed account of one womans struggles against a un-curable disease. And although it seems that this disease can never be defeated, the attitude that you have now after all that you have been through, makes you the true winner. Your book has shown me that this disease isn't the monster that it first was, and it's severity is still just as real, I now have an understanding that puts me in a position to help, instead of being afraid. Most people in this world would stop there, and you may have assumed that I would've to, but my feelings are just doing what is necessary to get by, isn't always satisfactory. I know that there are a lot of women out there who just don't have that person to talk to, and may need help, maybe they just need someone to listen. I know that two people can't change the world, but if these two people can help just two other people then all the efforts are worth it. I guess that's where the purpose of this email comes in. I was wondering if there were any kind of information packages or information in general that you would be able to send us on endometriosis and how we could possibly start some kind of help line or support group. Also if you have any advice for us on how to change the world, we'd love to hear from you. Thank-you again for your book, I hope that everything works out for you and that you start each day with a smile. I don't know if you realize it or not, but you book has changed the way that I act and in turned have changed two peoples lives. I wish you the best in everything you do,"

"Endo book literally saved my life..BRAVO!
I have spent so many years fighting the pain of endo and thought my life was forever going to spent without hope. My husband was so tired of this beast that he and I were on verge of separation...until I read Ms. Lewis's book. It even has a chapter JUST FOR MEN!!! My husband , after reading this, understood more about how I feel on daily basis and how scared I am. He even agreed to counseling and things are better. I know this sounds very cliché, but this book saved myself and my marriage. I actualy wrote Ms. Lewis to thank her and she wrote me wonderful, Inspirational letter in return!! I feel so honored to be able to talk with her. She is so normal and so generous and kind. This book is mandatory for anyone with endo!!! I have never felt so much strength since my diagnosis! God Bless Jennifer and 'Endometriosis, One Woman's Journey'"

-- Rossie (Rromano@ea.edu.com), January 28, 1999

"Jennifer Lewis has made it possible for a group of us who have sisters, mothers, daughters or friends who suffer from endometriosis to clearly understand how heroic these women truly are."

-- Janet Eastman, Los Angeles Times

"Thank you to Jennifer Lewis for having the courage to share her story and help the millions of women who live with endometriosis. Jennifer has published a one-of-a-kind book filled with personal experiences and a multitude of information. When coping with endometriosis, information is power."

-- Michelle E. Marvel, Executive Director
The Endometriosis Research Center & Women's Hospital

"Whatever combination of surgery, hormonal therapy, pain medication and psychological support a doctor recommends, medical care must not be done to a women, but, rather, with her."

-- Dr. Mark Perloe, Atlanta Reproductive Health Center

"Endometriosis - One Woman’s Journey by Jennifer Marie Lewis is a comprehensive guide to understanding and coping with an elusive and debilitating affliction. What is endometriosis, anyway? 'Endo' is a frequently underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed disorder that affects some women, occurring when endometrial fragments attach to nearby pelvic structures and grow, frequently causing extreme pain and internal complications that often remain undiagnosed for years."

"Author Jennifer Lewis has given a face, a name and most important, a voice of experience and wisdom to the personal pain of endometriosis by sharing her own medical and emotional saga -- which began when she was age 15."

"For a decade, Jennifer endured misdiagnoses and misconceptions about the condition that ultimately led to bouts of debilitating surgeries and poor health, lost wages, lost intimacy, and even depression. Only when she learned to be her own best health advocate did she find appropriate medical treatment, learn the truth about her condition and, in the process, began to regain her dignity."

"Perhaps the most important lesson this book offers its readers is the knowledge that each endometriosis case is unique. No single treatment fits everyone. What ever combination of surgery, hormonal therapy, pain medication and psychological support a doctor recommends. Jennifer believes that medical care should not be done to a woman but, rather with her."

"When the patient is an active partner with her physician in making treatment decisions, the goals of alleviating pain, slowing disease progression and restoring fertility, if possible, often can be met."

"If you are a woman going through this terrible disease you need this book. It is full of helpful and important information. I found it to be extremely honest, direct with no-holds-barred, helping some women reclaim lost dignity, hope, and if possible, health."
