By turns an autobiography, a medical history, and a book of meditations, \u003ci\u003eLosing My Mind\u003c\/i\u003e is a testament to the splendor of memory and a triumphant celebration of the human spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas DeBaggio\u003c\/b\u003e has worked as both a professional herb grower and a newspaper journalist.
