The surprise made the young doctor and I look at each other, and he shrugged and raised his hands in a gesture of “What shall we do?” But my bestie’s reaction was even more surprising.“STOP!

Specifically, the inner-city suburb known simply as "The Valley." It was a place of stark contrasts, a cacophony of modern glass towers glinting under the harsh Australian sun and stately heritage buildings whispering tales of bygone eras.

This book “…Been through Fire, But Mercy Spared Me” is written not because the writer wants to attract sympathy or broadcast her medical history.

Phone less: How Losing My Phone Unplugged My Life What happens when your entire life—your calendar, your memories, your contacts, your money—is tied to a single device… and it suddenly disappears? In Phone less, Stephen Omote takes us on a gripping, humorous, and eye-opening journey through a single day that changed everything. One lost phone becomes the trigger for a chain of events that exposes just how deeply we’ve become entangled with our screens—and how unprepared we are to live without them. From missed meetings and lost contacts to unexpected human connections, awkward moments, and divine surprises, this book offers a rare glimpse into the chaos and clarity that come when the digital world suddenly goes dark. Told with raw honesty, gentle wit, and powerful reflections, Phone less is more than a personal story—it’s a wake-up call for anyone who’s ever said, “I can’t live without my phone.”
