4.0 out of 5 stars Review:, November 13, 2000

This review is from: Pumpkin: A Young Woman's Struggle with Lupus (Paperback)

I have a sister who died of Lupus and reading this book really does explain what goes on in your life when someone close to you is ill. Even though you feel hopeless, even though you're scared for that person, you know you have to be strong and cherish every single moment. I enjoyed this book because it reminds you how important your life is. Eileen had brothers,sisters and parents who loved her and even though she was sick she tried to make the most of it which is inspirational to all of us.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good book, January 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Pumpkin: A Young Woman's Struggle with Lupus (Paperback)

I thought this was a good book, and very easy to read. I have a friend with lupus, and she is very much like the main lady in this book. It is good to see how other people deal with these things. I think the author knows how to touch the heart of people and that is a very special gift. I read this book, and Stolen Moments by Fisher, and both have helped me in a big way to understand my friend with this illness. Hope they find a cure for it soon. I would recommend this book for anyone dealing wtih any illness, personally or with someone they love.
