About the Book

The good news is that you do not have cancer. The bad news is that you did not need the surgery.

Every year, preventable medical errors cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands. In A Thousand Sparks of Light, nationally known health care expert Lenore Janecek tells her harrowing story to inform and empower patients about this urgent issue.

The book revolves around the jury trial in her suit against the hospital that performed the unnecessary surgery and covered it up, providing actual testimony along with Janecek's thoughts about the proceedings as they occurred.

But that's just part of the story. This book also takes an intimate look inside the emotional life of an extraordinary woman. Remarkably, the chain of e-mails between Janecek and her psychiatrist appear throughout the book, revealing the ongoing real-time conversations that helped her understand that she had suffered PTSD as a child due to abuse and the death of her mother from medical error-and she was now suffering from it again.

Above all else, A Thousand Sparks of Light is an uplifting spiritual journey. A strong warrior for justice and empowerment, Janecek's story is about the spirit of coming together to make our world better for everyone in it.
