Ruth Levy Guyer is a writer, teacher and commentator whose interests include medical ethics, infectious diseases, environmental ethics, social justice and public health. Guyer's second book, A Life Interrupted: The Long Night of Marjorie Day is the true story about a brilliant and charismatic woman who lapsed into a coma and was gravely ill for seventeen years, then suddenly recovered and went on to lead a remarkable and unique life. The story is one that Guyer first heard more than thirty years ago from someone who was a good friend of Marjorie Day. The book threads together Day's amazing story with an account of Guyer's quest to find out what actually was wrong with Day, something that Day herself never learned. Marjorie Cornelia Day--Daysey--dazzled everyone who met her, starting when she was a little girl in rural Strasburg, PA, then at Wellesley College, and later at Oxford University where, in 1926, she fell ill with a mysterious disease, lapsed into a coma, and stayed "asleep" (though not comatose) for 17 years. Even hospital staff members caring for her during her unresponsive years found Daysey intriguing. Then, inexplicably, Daysey was fine. A serendipitous encounter not long after Daysey emerged from her zombie-like state led to her reinstatement as a teacher. First, she taught Latin to young girls in New England and Washington, DC, but soon she became a charismatic college professor, teaching social science courses to the daughters of power in the nation's capital. Summers were different: Daysey cooked bacon and eggs on the rocks at Rockport, MA, for mill and sweatshop workers and taught the women there how to write poetry, play tennis, hike and swim. Daysey lived almost 100 years (minus those 17). She never learned what had made her sick. But now we know. A Life Interrupted braids the story of her unique experience with the story of the author's quest to discover what actually happened.
