“I Believe in Everything is a tribute to the space where the terrible and the beautiful meet, where trauma gives birth to connection, spiritual exploration, and purpose."

"An inspiring, humorous, and captivatingly honest account of one woman’s journey navigating the realities of a brain tumor diagnosis, and the self-discovery that comes when one starts to ask the big questions."
— Shannon Duescher, MSPAS, PA-C, Department of Neurosurgery, MedSTAR Georgetown University Hospital"By turns witty and devastatingly serious, Dary’s chronicle of a health crisis and its aftermath steadily deepens into an interrogation of that most vital of questions: what it means to live a good life.”
— Emily Ruth Ford, winner of the Royal Society of Literature's V.S. Pritchett Prize"This is not just a memoir. This is a sacred transmission from the place where mystery lives, and where an entity called the Bigness shows up uninvited, sits too close, and tells you the truth whether you’re ready or not.”
— Matthew Vollmer, author of All of Us Together in the End“While reading this book, one word kept running through my mind: wonder. Dary’s story is compelling and compulsive—once you start reading you won’t want to stop. It’s worth repeating: this book is a wonder.”
— Courtney LeBlanc, author of Her Dark Everything
