Haunting
Compassionate
Disbelief
Self-pity
Acceptance
Heartbreaking
Emotionally draining yet fulfilling
I haven't had a good cry like that of what I experienced as I read this book. My heart truly ached for John and Alice, and their three children.
For Alice - because she realized the whole time what was happening; she realized the need to fight and yet she knew it was a losing battle. However, in some ways she was victorious over the disease.
For John - because his manhood, his very life, was threatened by this disease. He almost lost both. In the end his heart won out over his scientifically-geared mind.
