Season BubbleGirl, 24, has not left her home in eight years. She has Multiple Chemical Sensitivity(MCS), a disease where the immune system cannot tolerate common chemicals. This condition occurred after an over-exposure to a fragranced product. It's result is deadly symptoms from inhaling any of the banned substances. After four near-death experiences she was ordered to stay home, in a controlled, segregated environment.

BubbleGirl continues to be up-beat. Instead of dwelling on her sterile lifestyle, she forges on to realise her dream: become a successful international author. "I didn't spend my first sixteen years learning to write, only to waste it," she says. "Giving up now is not an option when I have only just begun to inspire and help others. I feel God chose me to show others the strength hidden in all of us."

BubbleGirl's autobiography, Absolute Individual: Life in a Bubble, is set to change the way people view MCS and physical disability. ''My experience can teach others how to be strong through tragedy. By encouraging others, my journey feels more worthwhile. If some chick can survive in a bubble happily, then anything's possible! My life and home needed drastic changes, but through them I have secured a quality of life. Any sacrifice is worth that!"

Despite her tragedy, BubbleGirl does not frown upon chemical companies. She does not condone the banning of chemicals. "It's like banning fishing because some people are allergic to shellfish," she says. "We cannot wipe out the entire species of bees, just because some react to their stings. It's a matter of those allergic taking care, and those of sound immune systems to continue their lives as they are."

BubbleGirl writes with brutal honesty. "I can't just tell half the story! The reader is a trusted friend - given every ounce of interesting (and sometimes embarrassing) information. People knowing my every thought doesn't scare me; being helpless in my bubble does. I want to reach and entertain with my work for years to come."
