This book by Dean Kramer provides thoughtful, and often humorous, glimpses into the everyday world of someone with MS.
In her introduction, Dean Kramer states she wanted to write a book about the "ongoing, everyday lives of people" living with multiple sclerosis. Not only do her essays portray that well, they also help the reader understand more about multiple sclerosis itself--its symptoms, its relapsing/remitting course, and the cognitive changes that were, for many years, not acknowledged as part of the disease.
Always enlightening, insightful, and often humorous as well, Kramer takes readers through what most would consider to be mundane tasks such as shopping or house cleaning. Mundane, that is, to anyone not living with a chronic illness that can change from day to day. Despite what appears to be light subject matter, the book is not necessarily an easy read. Yet Kramer's ability to present her reality, unvarnished, makes it a book you can't put down.
