Marbles

When I first flipped through the book it seemed so simple, but there are so many layers to it. The author shares her struggles with the reader openly and honestly. And that's all it is – someone sharing her experience with others without fishing for sympathy or any other kind of attention (like most people seem to do when they share their pain with others). She provides tons of information about the disease without it ever seeming dry or full of boring statistics.  The illustrations are great, too. Thanks Goodreads First Reads for sharing this great memoir with me. And a big thank you to Forney for sharing her story – I am sure there are many people out there that need support in discovering that light at the end of the tunnel, and I am sure this book will serve as beacon for many.
