WRITERS WITH MS SHARE THEIR STORIES
What do Janice Foster, Barbara Marchant, Don McNeal and Chris Tatevosian have in common? They all have MS and have persevered in the face of many obstacles to self-publish their stories in order to help others cope with the ups and downs of this chronic disease.
Picking Up the Pieces: Rising Above a Loss Again & Again, by Janice Foster, is the story of a woman who retired at the age of 37 due to health issues associated with MS. She writes about her illness and the death of her father to encourage others to put their life back together after a loss. Her book is available at http://www.authorhouse.com.
Home Team Advantage, by Don McNeal, is a story of overcoming incredible obstacles while still maintaining a positive attitude and a sense of humor. Don played pro football with the Miami Dolphins and was named Defensive Back of the Year in 1982 and 1984. Looking back over his life, Don writes, "I realize my family was my first, most important team, and in many ways my dad was my toughest coach." His book is available at http://www.powerpublishinginc.com.
Dance On chronicles the lives of three very different women who share the same diagnosis: MS. Written by Pity-Us-Not MS Support Group Leader Barbara Marchant, Dance On is available at major online booksellers. Royalties benefit MSF.
Life Interrupted: It's Not All about Me, by Chris M. Tatevosian, is a candid and humble memoir about one young man's diagnosis and how his "poor-me" attitude cost him his marriage. Chris hopes others might learn from his mistakes to communicate more effectively and not allow disability and low self-worth to destroy relationships. Chris also writes about his faith in God, his experiences with bee venom therapy, and his fiancée, Jane, whom he plans to marry in spring 2007. This book is available at http://www.booksurge.com.
