Between hope and despair is a thin line. That line was discovered by the author of this book. Determined to remain hopeful, this author tells her story of dealing with a chronic disease while in the prime of her life. This could happen to you someday, and reading it will make you feel lucky to be alive.

I began reading this book in the early evening and ended staying up all night! I could not put it down. It's not only a detailed account of dealing with IBD, hospitals, procedures, etc, it's also a touching love story. It's emotional, humourous, entertaining, instructive and it's valuable. I will read it again and again.

A humorous, touching autobiographical account of one woman's ordeal with IBD, from initial procedures and eventual diagnosis to surgery and gradual recovery. This is a story of courage, grit and determination with which many people with IBD can probably relate and it will pull your heartstrings.

I have a friend with this disease and found this book. I am healthy but wanted to help my young friend. I read it first and found it helped ME! I was rejuvenated and regained emotions that were dead inside me and not felt for years. It is NOT a depressing recount of illness. It is a funny, graphic, scary, instructive, uplifting, and LOVE story book! It changed me and definately helped my friend. I hope I find a man like Ken!

The author truly put her heart and soul into sharing her personal experience with IBD. Not only is it a story of hope in the midst of excruciating pain and fear, but it is also a beautiful love story. It opened my eyes to the pain the author and others like her with IBD go through, as well as how comforting and necessary a loving, commited spouse is during this tremendous ordeal. I cried through it as it really tugged on my heart strings. Thank you, Kathy, for sharing your story.
