Grace Quantock has written Reclaiming Wellness with Chronic Illness with a wonderful blend of warmth, validation, and practical guidance. The tools in the book make navigating the challenges of chronic illness more manageable and sustainable, and I am grateful to Grace for offering readers a roadmap for reclaiming their agency and joy. Reclaiming Wellness with Chronic Illness is an incredibly valuable resource that I highly recommend!

This book is a revelation. “Living Well with Chronic Illness” addresses the politics of being sick, the exhausting navigation of daily life, and aspects of chronic illness no one else talks about. I found guidance here I've never encountered elsewhere: how to handle complicated relationships, how illness intersects with other marginalized identities, and concrete tools that work. Essential, compassionate, and genuinely transformative.

For anyone who feels like their body has betrayed them with illness, Grace Quantock models how to start using illness as an opportunity for personal growth and spiritual awakening, allowing the journey to blaze a trail towards a more fulfilling life. When illness is viewed as a message from the core of who you are, pointing you towards your deepest truth, rather than as a punishment, getting sick just could be the best thing that ever happened to you.
Lissa Rankin, MD, author of Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself
