Synopsis

This book recounts in vivid detail the forty year journey of a vibrant young woman diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 24. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most widespread disabling neurological condition of young adults around the world, usually diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40. MS is a chronic disease that damages the nerves in the spinal cord and brain, as well as in the optic nerves. Depending on where the damage occurs, symptoms may include problems with muscle control, balance, vision, or speech. Researchers still don’t fully understand the causes of MS or why the rate of progression is so difficult to determine. The Multiple Sclerosis Foundation estimates that more than 400,000 people in the United States and about 2.5 million people around the world have MS. Frighteningly, about 200 new cases are diagnosed each week in the United States. In her risky, uncertain, sometimes humourous, yet success filled expedition, the author consistently acknowledges that she was met and sustained at every turn by the guiding hand of the Spirit of God. We are therefore reminded as we read that having faith in God and applying that faith in every situation will determine the quality of the journey despite the difficulties along the way. Be inspired, challenged and strengthened as you walk through the years with a woman who is no longer able to walk physically, but who journeys on with a solid faith in her Faithful Friend.
