description: A New York Times Bestseller Illness came calling when Richard M. Cohen was a twenty-five-year-old television news producer with expectations of a limitless future. For thirty years he battled multiple sclerosis, only to be ambushed by two bouts of colon cancer. With grace, humor, and lyrical prose, Cohen tackles the nature of denial and resilience, the ins and outs of the struggle for emotional health, and the redemptive effects of a loving family.
