Unexpected Blessings by Roxanne Black
July 30, 2009
“I laughed, I cried – a must read for anyone suffering from a chronic illness or who knows someone who has one.
Unlike most other books written from a more clinical perspective, the author shows us the emotional side of living life with a disease for which there is no cure, along with all the associated ups and downs. The author presents her experiences in a very positive, upbeat manner despite bumps along the way – you’ll be blessed by reading it!”
