Product Description
Dene’ Hopkins has been living with Systemic Lupus since 1992 and has been battling the disease as well as prejudice from those who do not understand the limitations the disease creates. She documents what it’s like to come to terms with Lupus, a disease of the immune system, and does so in a way that causes the reader to experience emotional understanding, allowing him to walk in the author’s shoes. The journey begins with the diagnosis and weaves through the years as she poignantly shares her trials and frustrations of a life limited by a disease. She shares candidly about her life with Lupus, including the toll it has taken on her family and friendships. But the story is not hopeless; instead it is inspirational as she discovers the best way to effectively deal with the disappointments, the person she is now, and the legacy she wants to leave behind.
