Publisher Description From Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Church of Christian Science, to Deepak Chopra, Americans have struggled with the connection between health and happiness. Barbara Wilson was taught by her Christian Scientist family that there was no sickness or evil, and that by maintaining this belief she would be protected.

In this perceptive and textured memoir, Wilson surveys the complex history of Christian Science and the role of women in religion and healing.
