Darcey Steinke, renowned author of 'Flash Count Diary' and 'Suicide Blonde', delves into the realm of pain, affecting both sufferers and their loved ones. Approximately 20% of Americans grapple with chronic pain, a state we'll all likely encounter. Steinke masterfully explores pain's essence with her signature wit, empathy, and insight. Through chapters focusing on various body parts, she illuminates pain's understanding through history, philosophy, religion, pop culture, and personal experiences. She engages with medical professionals, examines Frida Kahlo's works, shares her own surgical journey, and visits Lourdes, where she finds herself called to assist.
