A turbulent romance meets harrowing medical mystery， Eleanor Henderson's Everything I Have Is Yours is the true story of a twenty-year marriage defined by the author’s husband’s physical and mental illness and a testament to the enduring power of love。

Eleanor met Aaron when she was just a teenager and he was working at a local record store—older， cool， experienced， and with an electric personality。 Escaping the clichés of fleeting young love， their summer romance bloomed into a relationship that survived college and culminated in a marriage and two children。 From the outside looking in， their life had all the trappings of what most would consider a success story。

But， like any marriage， things weren’t always as they seemed。 When Aaron one day began complaining about burning rashes， Eleanor tried desperately to help。 And when the rashes gave way to Aaron’s increasingly paranoid concerns about parasites living inside him， nonplussed doctors were at a loss。 Whatever Aaron had was a mystery， but it also wasn’t getting better。 In fact， it was mutating。 There seemed to be no obvious diagnosis， and as the man she loved began to deteriorate before her eyes， so began Eleanor’s tireless quest for answers in an effort to help her husband at any cost。

Emotional， propulsive， and at times heartbreaking， Everything I Have Is Yours tells the story of a marriage tested by powerful forces out of both partners’ control。 It’s a memoir not just of a wife who would do anything to save the man she loves， but one that asks just what it means to accept someone as they are—as well as the sacrifices one chooses to make in the name of love。
