"A raw and painful look at Richard Cohen's lifelong struggle with multiple sclerosis. He dives into the impact it's had on his career as a television news producer, his relationship with his wife, Meredith Viera, and their three children.

A thought provoking book on the merit of human life in all different conditions."

"I have mixed feelings about this book. It was thought provoking and really made me look at myself and family and the time that we get to spend together. I really value all of it and would not trade anything for them but this book really had an angry/sad/mad tone to it. I understand that living with MS and multiple cancers it not a happy situation but this was not what I was expecting. I cringed when reading about how Richard would yell at his children and wife because of his heath issues. Again, I am sure this is somewhat common when living in a household with someone who has major medical issues but I could never deal with someone who treated me that way emotionally. I guess if you can get past the negativity then read this book otherwise I would pass."

"This is a well written account that gives insight into how challenging a life can become when visited by constantly disintegrating health. It makes one grateful for life's tender mercies."

By Ferris, The United States

"Audiobook...........This was a moving and depressing account of one man's life with Multiple Sclerosis, and how it has challenged him to grow as a person, and the ways the illness has impacted his family. Cohen is eloquent, and tells the tale of his life. He loves life and has been creative and determined in keeping it that way, despite the progressive nature of the illness. It is a heartbreaking story, yet realistic. I would recommend this to anyone who has a family member or loved one coping with a chronic and/or progressive illness."
