The Emerald-Green and Black Damselfly Isabelle K Jean

Isabelle K. Jean's COVID-19 journey began on a Saturday afternoon, no different from any other Saturday.

Her husband, James, came back from golfing more than just the normal tired. As the evening wore on, he developed a fever and became sicker with each passing hour.

Still awaiting his COVID-19 test results, he felt miserable, so he asked his wife to spend time outside so she didn't get sick. Little did he know, she'd be diagnosed as COVID-19 positive within a few days.

While she tried recovering at home, the illness hit her hard. A friend gifted in healing told her she'd been helping people remotely. They prayed together, and the author asked for her help. She leaned on those prayers when she went to the local hospital, which was ill-prepared to deal with her diagnosis: acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19 virus.

It would take the author all her will and energy to battle COVID-19, but along the way, she grew in faith and learned life lessons that she reveals in The Emerald-Green and Black Damselfly.
