Often books dealing with illness attempt to find a solution or a cure. This can be very frustrating if there is no cure. But sometimes people are able to access a hidden ability to heal themselves. While the book deals with Lauren Singer's personal journey with multiple sclerosis, it is applicable to everyone who wants to embrace life's challenges as a path to a richer life and a deeper understanding of self. There is a spiritual dimension to the book, which draws on a wide range of sources. This short book, written in Lauren's uniquely poignant and selfless style, will inspire people to look more closely at their own lives in a different way and provide comfort for people who might be troubled. It does not provide answers, but it does suggest how people can best take action in situations over which they have little control.
