Salt In My Soul: An Unfinished Life
by Mallory Smith
Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the age of three, Mallory Smith
grew into a determined, talented young woman who inspired others
even as she raged against her illness. Despite the daily challenges
of endless medical treatments and a deep understanding that she'd never lead a normal life, Mallory was determined to "live happy," a mantra she followed until her death. Embarking on a career as a
writer, Mallory recorded her thoughts and observations, including
the struggles and feelings she found too personal to share during
her life, for more than ten years, leaving instructions for her mother
to publish her work posthumously. She hoped that her writing would
offer insight to people living with, or loving someone with, chronic
illness.
