I started The Breakdown Lane by Jacquelyn Mitchard. This novel is about a woman in her mid-40s who after 20-some years of marriage and 3 kids, her husband decides he "is going to die" someday and needs to live life. So he takes a "sabbatical" from their marriage, kids, and lives. In the process, she starts having weird neurological symptoms and is eventually diagnosed with MS. I'm half-way through but so far it is really good. Part of the book is written from her point of view and the other half is written in her 15-year old's POV. Having this disease would truly suck!
The Breakdown Lane by Jacquelyn Mitchard. Good book. 3 1/2 out of 5 stars. (I've changed my rating system to have 5 stars because 4 stars just weren't enough.) It had a happy ending, even if the character still had MS (incurable - duh) and left me feeling like I would want my mom to read it.
