it has taken me a long while to commit to any book and finish it. however, i'm glad that i read this book. if you know anyone that suffers from either chronic or mental illness, then you should pick this up. i am constantly in search of understanding of myself and other people... this helped me.

Probably one of the amazing and yet saddest and emotionally draining books I've ever read, some parts were just downright gut wrenching, you have to marvel at the struggle that these people go threw, and be thankful you're not dealing with something similar.

Wonderful exploration of what it means to live with different types of chronic illness. One chapter is about a social worker in the Shaker area.

This is an amazing book with insights to several chronic diseases. I loved the way that the people demonstrated their strength of character and truly showed how important is to remember what you have, not what you do not have.

I'm listening to this one on CD in the car. Interesting to find out how five very different dealt with the diagnosis and deal with the ongoing challenges of serious chronic (some terminal) illness.

I read this for work. I think the students of the disability awareness course will be assigned to read it.
