Exclusive Interview: Jennifer Crystal Reveals the Shocking Inspiration Behind One Tick Stopped the Clock
Interviewed by Morgan Baker
In 2013, my department chair at Emerson College asked if I would be interested in working with a grad student on her memoir. I said yes, immediately. That student was Jennifer Crystal, author of One Tick Stopped the Clock.
Many years later, I sat in the audience at Porter Square Books Boston to listen to her read from the book at her launch. Jennifer’s book is about her struggle with Lyme and other tick-borne diseases: how it was missed in 1997 when she was a counselor at a camp in Maine.
