Product Description
The first story in this book is Jackie Waldman's own - the self-described charmed life - until July 1991, when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. It took years, but eventually she came to understand that a person with MS is only part of who she is. In this book, Waldman has collected stories of 24 men and women living with MS, who have extraordinary lives, and who have found the courage to do new things or old things in new ways.

5.0 out of 5 stars 24 Inspiring Courageous Stories, November 12, 2003

By	Dorothy Zaremba "njdotz" (Manchester Township, New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Words cannot describe the impact this book had on me after reading it. Author Jackie Waldman has compiled twenty-four of the most inspiring and touching stories of people with MS, and the effect the disease has on both the person with MS and their families and friends.

I purchased this book because my husband Anthony Zaremba was one of the featured people in the book. As I read the profiles of the others, my emotions ran through a gambit of highs and lows. At times while reading the book, I filled the pages with my own teardrops, and often laughter, as I read of the fortitude and courage that the people in this book exemplify.

If you know of anyone with MS, or if you have MS, place this book on your "must read" list. Best of all, Jackie Waldman's proceeds from this book are being donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Thank you Jackie! I give this book five stars!!
