Weeks after giving birth, Holly Frances went from being a healthy 26-year-old new mom to paralyzed and on life support—in less than 72 hours. Diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Holly was trapped in her own body, unable to move, speak, or hold her newborn daughter.

Life Support tells the story of how Holly struggled to overcome the despair, hopelessness and pain of recovery, to regain her health and get back to being a mother to her daughter.

Both a memoir and a resource guide, this is the true story of how Holly found purpose in the 126 days spent in hospital. A journey of strength, determination and hope, Holly's story reminds us that life doesn’t always go as planned, sometimes, in the most dire and challenging ways, it turns out better.

This book is the go-to resource for those living with GBS and other autoimmune illnesses in need of hope, encouragement, and helpful tips; and for caregivers, friends, and medical professionals looking for insight on how to care and support someone dealing with the challenges of these devastating illnesses.

Holly’s recovery videos on YouTube have inspired many with her fighting spirit and have over 20 million views from around the world. With the addition of new chapters and years passed, Life Support replaces Holly’s first book, Happily Ever After: My Journey with Guillain-Barre Syndrome and How I Got My Life Back.
