I saw a report about her on the internet & was so touched I immediately bought this book & read it in 2 days. I couldn't believe how much of me I saw in her as well as the differences in our illnesses. I just had to email her and she wrote back that "we are sisters in this fight". And it is an everyday, life-long fight that can be so exhausting. That is why encouragement & support from others is so important. I will have to check out some of these other books.
