I had been invited to, and attended the 2026 LA Times Book Fair

A deeply personal journey of resilience, honesty and heart. This book doesn't just tell a story, it invites you to walk alongside the author through hardship and healing, and in the process you discover you own strength as well.

The book fair took place on the USC campus on April 18 - 19, 2026. I was invited to attend by MainSpring books. I was thrilled that one of their employees read my book and considered it an excellent choice for expanding its visibility and readership.

Comments from readers:

The power of Janet's writing allows the reader to place themselves in the same room experiencing her long, bumpy road to recovery.

This book is harrd to put down as it's so well written and descriptive allowing the reader to be along on this difficult journey.

WOW - Janet McDowell has faced enough medical challenges for five lifetimes. To read how one person could overcome so much, including several potentially deadly medical issues, and come out the other side with such a positive attituude on lilfe is inspriational.
