Her memoir is more than a survival story &#8211; it&#8217;s a celebration of humor in the face of hardship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEpilepsy has thrown me into some outrageous situations,\u201d says Jane. \u201cBut instead of drowning in frustration, I\u2019ve learned to laugh &#8211; even when I dislocated my shoulder in my sleep or had a seizure at a comedy show. Humor became my lifeline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From EEG nightmares to falling off bikes and navigating disjointed emergency room visits in her fluffy housecoat, Jane invites readers into her world with unforgettable honesty. Through vivid storytelling and side-splitting commentary, \u201cLaughing Through the Storm\u201d proves that even life\u2019s darkest moments can come with a punchline.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jane Rogers is an epilepsy warrior, accidental comedian, and first-time author.
