Toward the end of this book, the author writes:

"Bitterness, like a cancer, left alone to grow only destroys one's life no matter what the cause." 

One way to review a book is to start at the end. Chris talks about his anger and his "poor me" attitude he took on because of his diagnosis of MS at a young age. He boldly talks of his marriage that went on the rocks as a result of his negative choices.

He says he wrote the book to give the readers "the awareness, knowledge and understanding they need to deal more positively with the emotional and physical stresses put on a relationship interrupted by chronic illness or disability."

His book is about relationships and living with MS from his male point of view. The frankness is refreshing and not offensive. His writing is simple and direct - not one for winning prizes but easy to read. He talks of his journey and you may find you are reading about your similar journey.

We each have our own experiences and personalities where we react and think differently. It is good to read different life perspectives to help us focus on our own and where we could look to improve our attitude or circumstances.

If you like reading about other people's lives with MS, this will appeal to you. Maybe it will encourage you to write your own story and share it with others.

Chris has produced a seemingly honest portrayal of his life and lessons he has learned. He wrote about what he knows, which is always a plus in my book.
