About

For fans of rags-to-riches stories, “Be There When I Return” is not just about overcoming epilepsy and finding success-it is also for those who are looking for a celebration of love in its purest form.

When thirty-one-year-old Michael King starts to act out of character, it gets the attention of his roommate and a woman he has started dating. After denying anything is wrong with him, Michael finally decides to visit a neurologist. His life takes an unexpected turn when he receives a life-altering diagnosis of epilepsy. What follows is a five-year saga of navigating the unpredictable terrain of seizures and the relentless pursuit of control. During this time, he finds solace in the unwavering support of the woman he is dating.

At thirty-seven, [Michael bravely elects to undergo surgery, setting a precent as the hospital's first of its kind. The success of the procedure becomes a catalyst for a remarkable transformation. A serendipitous encounter with an old friend sets an unexpected career shift in motion just nine months post-surgery. Seizing the opportunity, Michael dives into the fast-paced world of Silicon Valley as a recruiter for software companies.

“Be There When I Return” is an intimate narrative of resilience, courage, and the unwavering pursuit of one's aspirations, set against the backdrop of a captivating love story. This memoir is not just a tale of overcoming health hurdles but a poignant narrative of seizing second chances and achieving professional excellence against all odds.
