I’m looking forward to getting a copy of this new multiple sclerosis book I’ve recently discovered. Two of my favorite online writers, Diane and Joan, have been included in an MS anthology that gives patients’ stories about the trials and victories of living with multiple sclerosis. The book is Voices of Multiple Sclerosis: The Healing Companion, with more than 30 individual stories about dealing with the condition:
States Diane: “LaChance Publishing has sold books filled with the personal stories of those whose lives have been touched by breast and lung cancer, autism, Alzheimer’s, and most recently multiple sclerosis. The “Voices of…” book series is critically acclaimed, and 100% of the net proceeds go toward the foundation Debra LaChance has started. Read about The Healing Project and buy a book for yourself or a loved one who is dealing with a health condition in the book series.”
“When I was first diagnosed with MS, I searched (and purchased) any MS book I could find. I still have them all. But, with the exception of a few autobiographies, there were no stories about the experiences of regular people. I had learned the technical aspects of my new friend (multiple sclerosis), but I would have given anything for a book like The Voices of Multiple Sclerosis. Not only does it cover, in easy-to-understand terms, all the facts about MS, but it is also filled with short stories written by others with MS, as well as those who care for someone with the condition. And unlike many other books, it is light-weight and easy to hold. I couldn’t put it down until I’d read every story. I am honored to have one of my stories included in this book.”
***Voices of Multiple Sclerosis is available in bookstores, at online booksellers ( Amazon.com), in most major libraries, and at LaChance Publishing. This would make a great holiday gift for the newly diagnosed, veteran MSers, or anyone who wants to better understand multiple sclerosis.
