Opis

Mike Seliner has battled depression from a young age. It started when his mother told him that both he and his sister were adopted. His sister, suffering from bipolar disorder, takes it even harder than Mike does. She rebels, and she ends up pregnant. But her life ends too early, leaving a son who needs a home. Though he's dealing with a devastating multiple sclerosis diagnosis, Mike wants to help his nephew. But Mike's new wife, Michelle, is not so understanding. They adopt the boy anyway, but Michelle wants nothing to do with him or Mike's family. The family conflict takes its toll on Mike, but it's nothing compared to Mike's struggle with MS. As Mike begins to rely on increasingly intricate deceptions to keep his disease hidden, the double life creates a schism from reality. When Michelle leaves him, he doesn't think life can get any worse. Mental, physical, and emotional illness abound. With acceptance comes healing, but can Mike find it in himself to face his fears? This honest account of a man spiraling out of control from a multiple sclerosis diagnosis is a must-read for anyone suffering from the disease or anyone who knows someone in pain.
