The Ridgefield Library and Lyme Connection welcome Ross Douthat to the Library to discuss his new book, The Deep Places: A Memoir of Illness and Discovery. Douthat, a New York Times opinion columnist, and author, will discuss his battle with a devastating sickness, ultimately diagnosed as a chronic Lyme disease. In The Deep Places, Ross details the struggles many Lyme patients face as they seek a proper diagnosis and appropriate medical care—and explores the controversies surrounding these insidious tick-borne diseases. During his journey, Douthat discovers the many pitfalls of modern medicine and the strength and courage needed to reclaim his health. Books on the Common will have copies for purchase and signing.
