The author does such a wonderful job showing us who these people are and why they’re perfect for each other that I found myself rooting for them from the start. I loved their romance in spite of the above foibles. Meltzer captures with complete credibility the impatience and intolerance of others who don’t understand what being chronically ill means and the frustration and hurt caused when people accuse the sufferer of faking or exaggerating their illness to get out of things they don’t want to do. The author also does a great job of showcasing living with a chronic illness.Ms. Rachel’s Judaism is more than just the typical window dressing of lighting a few candles – we’re shown how her faith affects every aspect of her life, from what she eats to a world view that places family and community central to her identity. The cultural aspect of this book is spectacular.
