In Mallory Smith's short life, she recorded more than 2500 pages of her reflections that Random House published as a book, titled "Salt in My Soul: An Unfinished Life."
The LA Times calls the book "a memoir unlike any you've read - a young woman's inspiring struggle with an invisible killer."
In this inspiring talk, Mallory's mother, Diane Shader Smith, shares some of the insights from Mallory's writings about invisible illnesses, insurance obstacles and access to healthcare, pain management during the opioid epidemic, and how she became an accidental expert about patient care.
