In 1999, Juliette Wills had a bright future as a journalist and broadcaster. One minute she’d be in Melbourne or Monaco covering the Grand Prix, the next interviewing footballers and pop stars. She’d just moved to the seaside, made friends with a seagull (yes, really) and spent her weekends dancing in rockabilly clubs in London.
Just a year later she was suddenly struck down by three debilitating, incurable illnesses: ankylosing spondylitis, scoliosis and ulcerative colitis. After undergoing traumatic, life-saving surgery and in so much pain she was unable to walk, Juliette lost everything - her career, her relationship and finally, her independence. More recently, Juliette has also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, another painful, incurable condition.
Mostly Cloudy With Some Bright Spells is an incredible story of determination, acceptance, love - and above all else - hope. Juliette is in constant, debilitating pain; undaunted, she has turned her unique experiences and adventures into an inspiring, brutally honest and often hilarious story you won’t want to put down.
