Dream Rooms for Real People Hardcover - 1995

by Gwynn McDougal; Esther Gordon (Editor)


From the publisher

The author is the only patient ever to survive TB-induced pneumonia. Inspired by Alexandre Dumas' tragic heroine "Camille", we see the long struggle and ultimate triumph of "The Miracle Girl" over death. While this is a story of a young woman coming of age in an extraordinary environment, The Last Camilles captures the resiliency of human spirit.

"...not since Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain have we seen a story of tuberculosis so personal and intimate". Allan D. Erickson, MD Brown University Medical School
