Defeating The Silent Threat

This self-help book is a guide to help people of color understand the lethal weapon that is taking them out quietly. It focuses on raising awareness about an important dangerous issue, which is often ignored. This book uses the personal stories of a young woman who experienced her first blood clot attack after giving birth. In hopes of becoming a bestseller one day, she shares in her well written detailed book about her life with VTE, specifically PE's and DVT's. This book offers medical advice, and helpful tips to help people understand and recognize the signs of thrombosis. It also encourages people to get medical help quickly and advocate for better healthcare. If "blood is thicker than water," was a person, it would be Ms. Ricketts.
