Memoir Refreshingly Candid and Witty About MS and Aging

Nov. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- Columbus, Ohio – Short essays featuring irreverent, personal reflections on physical and emotional issues form a new memoir by first-time author Carmen Ambrosio.

Life Continues: Facing the Challenges of MS, Menopause and Midlife with Hope, Courage and Humor broaches a wide spectrum of subjects including a growing prescription medication pile, deafening diagnostic tests, “Duct Tape Days”, forced wardrobe adjustments and a fluctuating list of “can-dos and cannots” in frank, self-effacing stories.

Throughout the book, Ambrosio uses her wit to illustrate how she copes with having multiple sclerosis (MS) and being middle-aged.

Many people dealing with chronic conditions, caregivers, relatives and friends will be inspired by Ambrosio’s ability to resurrect her sense of humor and optimism as well as her refusal to relinquish hope even as challenges mount.

Life Continues is available in trade paperback for $14.99 (ISBN 978-0-615-38875-5) at Amazon.com and at https://www.createspace.com/3475039. Wholesale orders may be placed through national book distributor Ingram.
