"Mitt and Ann Romney met in their late teens, and their life together was blessed: five healthy sons, financial security, and a home filled with joy. Despite the typical ups and downs, they had a storybook life. Then, in 1998, Ann was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Mitt told her that day that they would tackle the diagnosis as a team: They were in it together. "As long as it isn't fatal, we're fine. If you have to be in a wheelchair, I'll be right there to push it," he told her. A caregiver and helper her whole life, she'd crossed a terrible invisible line. She wouldn't be able to care for her family anymore. Reflections on her early life, her marriage, and her diagnosis and recovery, the sources of her faith, and the stories of others who overcame adversity and inspired her to keep going. A portrait of a family facing an unexpected blow, often in the most public of circumstances."With all the blessings I've had, MS has been my greatest teacher: It has taught me about faith, compassion, and serving others. I've met many people along the way who've shared advice and demonstrated enormous resilience in the face of challenges; their stories gave me strength. In sharing my story, I want to give others hope as I've been given hope on this journey. Ann Romney, the former First Lady of Massachusetts, is the author of The Romney Family Table. She converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1966. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1998 and has credited her faith, along with mainstream and alternative treatments, with giving her a lifestyle mostly without limitations. Her husband Mitt Romney was the Republican Party's nominee for President of the United States in the 2012 election. She is the mother of five sons and five daughters-in-law and the grandmother of twenty-three."--Provided by publisher.
