Her book offers readers hope, inspiration and validation. She addresses how to come to terms with a diagnosis; strategies for identifying and managing stress triggers; ways to cope with fear, guilt, anger, loss, depression, and isolation; and steps to enhance intimacy and develop a greater sense of emotional security. Shadday wants islanders to know that her book is applicable for people with many types of chronic illness in addition to MS.
