Synopsis

In this collection of poetry and short fiction, the focus is chronic illness and the effects it has on the daily lives of those struggling with illness, as well as those who care for them. The book's eight contributors lend unique voices to their common experience. As they tell their stories, in forceful, vivid prose and poetry, the face of suffering emerges. A special emphasis is placed on doctor-patient relationships, and this makes the book a logical choice for anyone in the helping professions seeking to develop empathy and understanding.
