This is a short book, written by someone I knew. She died a few years back, no doubt a victim of the chronic genetic disease she suffered with which gave impetus and insight to her book. I don't know why, but often this book is listed with Elle Friedman Becker as the author, but the true co-authors are Diane Christy (my friend) and Carol A. Sarafconn.
I am currently reading this book, so I'll report later.
