The Twentynine Palms Book Festival returns November 13-15 2025
When Michelle Katz's health suddenly and mysteriously collapsed following a vaccine injury, she found herself in a place many people know all too well: dismissed by experts, failed by systems, and left searching in the dark for answers that conventional medicine couldn't provide.
Awakening in an Age of Metals is a powerful spiritual memoir about one woman's descent into a chronic, mysterious illness — an experience that defied modern medicine and upended everything she believed about the body and the soul. What began as a terrifying neurological decline became an unexpected initiation into a radically different understanding of healing, consciousness, and what it means to be truly alive.
