By: Ross DouthatNEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • In this vulnerable, insightful memoir, the New York Times columnist tells the story of his five-year struggle with a disease that officially doesn’t exist, exploring the limits of modern medicine, the stories that we unexpectedly fall into, and the secrets that only suffering reveals.
“A powerful memoir about our fragile hopes in the face of chronic illness.”—Kate Bowler, bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason
In the summer of 2015, Ross Douthat was moving his family, with two young daughters and a pregnant wife, from Washington, D.C., to a sprawling farmhouse in a picturesque Connecticut town when he acquired a mysterious and devastating sickness. It left him sleepless, crippled, wracked with pain--a shell of himself. After months of seeing doctors and descending deeper into a physical inferno, he discovered that he had a disease which according to CDC definitions does not actually exist: the chronic form of Lyme disease, a hotly contested condition that devastates the lives of tens of thousands of people but has no official recognition--and no medically approved cure.
From a rural dream house that now felt like a prison, Douthat's search for help takes him off the map of official medicine, into territory where cranks and conspiracies abound and patients are forced to take control of their own treatment and experiment on themselves. Slowly, against his instincts and assumptions, he realizes that many of the cranks and weirdos are right, that many supposed "hypochondriacs" are victims of an indifferent medical establishment, and that all kinds of unexpected experiences and revelations lurk beneath the surface of normal existence, in the places underneath.
The Deep Places is a story about what happens when you are terribly sick and realize that even the doctors who are willing to treat you can only do so much. Along the way, Douthat describes his struggle back toward health with wit and candor, portraying sickness as the most terrible of gifts. It teaches you to appreciate the grace of ordinary life by taking that life away from you. It reveals the deep strangeness of the world, the possibility that the reasonable people might be wrong, and the necessity of figuring out things for yourself. And it proves, day by dreadful day, that you are stronger than you ever imagined, and that even in the depths there is always hope.

Too flimsy but a crowd pleaser
Color: Spider
My dogs absolutely loved them so I gave it 4 stars but it probably only deserves 3 stars due to how easily these can be destroyed. I have small dogs and they destroyed them very quickly.

Perfect for small dogs!
Color: Spider
These are so cute. My 10 pound Havanese absolutely loves these. They are the perfect size for her. I couldn’t put them away with the Halloween decor because she carries them everywhere. She has one in the bed, one in the car and one for around the house. Very durable and fun for her.

Colorful, Durable, and Totally Adorable! Perfect for Halloween
Color: Bats, Color: Bats
I absolutely love these bats! I’ve bought them multiple times and still adore them… they add such a fun, whimsical touch to my Halloween displays. The colorful wings give them a unique charm you just don’t get with typical black bat props. The quality is impressive too: even after a couple of rainy outdoor seasons, my first two sets are still holding up great.
And yes… I know they’re technically dog toys, but my pups already have plenty of playthings… I’m pretty sure they don’t mind!
