When she started to drag one of her legs, her parents took her to hospital, and so began the visits to many different doctors, each one more bewildered by her illness than the last. Initially schooled at home, when Sarah went back to school she was placed with the struggling kids, and still so often ill, she felt even more alone. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut although Sarah's parents often despaired of the stream of appointments and no cure, they never showed it and she grew up in the midst of a boisterous, loving family and found good friends at last, as well as venturing into bands, art, boys, books and records. Finally, when Sarah turned sixteen, she was admitted to Great Ormond Street Hospital where the doctors diagnosed her with the rare disease, Moyamoya. The book ends with Sarah waking up after brain surgery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Lippett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911214861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911214861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Cape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 7.70w x 1.00d","brand":"Sarah Lippett","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46465865941247,"sku":"9781911214861","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7dc86df2-a5de-40d2-8f7f-63ba89e9e596.jpg?v=1736347512","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-puff-of-smoke-sarah-lippett-9781911214861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
