"María Elena Medina-Dávila's life was forever changed at 16 years old. The Terribe Three is a vibrant, honest, and sharp testimony about her first years living with multiple sclerosis, a disease that redefined her identity, her autonomy, and her perception of the world. With an irreverent, acidic and deeply emotive voice, the author takes us deep into the harsh reality of medical diagnosis, treatment side effects and the silent battles against pain, uncertainty and stigma. Nevertheless, this is not a tale of defeat: it is a celebration of resilience, of humor as a defense mechanism and of the construction of an identity that refuses to be reduced to a medical condition" (Elidio La Torre Lagares).
