When 44 year-old Ann Pietrangelo is diagnosed with multiple \\r\\nsclerosis, all previous assumptions about health, work, and her new \\r\\nromance are up for grabs.\\r\\n\\r\\nHow do you plan for life’s second half with a body you’ve never met \\r\\nbefore? One precarious step at a time. From the impersonal \\r\\ndiagnosis by email to a wedding presided over by a funeral director, \\r\\nthis is no tragic tale of woe. Like relapsing/remitting MS itself, the \\r\\nbook alternates between the serious (“When I turn toward him, \\r\\nthere’s a big hole where his right cheek should be.”) and the silly \\r\\n(“The bocce balls don\\\\\\\'t get out much.”).\\r\\n\\r\\nThis poignant and often humorous story of acceptance and change \\r\\nrelies on a basic truth – good health and life are fleeting, but love \\r\\nand humor trump all. Every second matters, a point driven home by \\r\\nyet another life-altering diagnosis.
