Musing Along The Way

Prompted by an unwelcome diagnosis of multiple sclerosis at 57, author Martha Johnson reflects, over a period of 5 years, on her confusions, her emotional reactions and her ways of coming to grips with a the unanticipated loss of the future she had envisioned for herself. While this book is not about MS, it is about dealing with illness and loss. The author's sparse and honest poetry will resonate with all those who choose to live the life they are given as a journey, whether or not they suffer from a chronic illness. It is a "must read" for anyone looking to understand those who live with chronic illness.
