 Another Bump in the Road
One Woman's Journey Through ALS
By Leslie Shapiro
Another Bump in the Road follows the experiences of Linda Burge along her 7 year journey with ALS. Through a series of interviews, Linda chronicles her illness, bringing the reader into the reality of living with ALS. She describes the impact of increasing disabilities, and the accommodations necessitated as a result.
Throughout the book, vignettes from family and friends give glimpses of Linda's life before ALS. These snippets allow us to see and understand the whole Linda.
Linda came to consider her illness a blessing that enriched her life. She lost the battle with an opponent she knew she could not beat, yet this story celebrates the triumph of Linda's indomitable spirit. She lived her life with ALS surrounded by a wealth of family and friends, and she maintained her independence and quality of life right to the end.
$12.00
100% of the Proceeds will be donated to ALS Charities
