At age forty, Jim Lavene became diabetic. It was the turning point of his life and a marker in his family's lives. He wanted answers to his disease that didn't come from a bottle or a syringe. He wanted to understand what was happening to him, mentally, physically, and spiritually. His search took him and his family in exploration of the great adventure of living. What constitutes commitment to life? How does chronic disease affect the person and their loved ones? The answers to these questions are what defines all of us. They are what sets us apart and draws us together. This is more than just one family's story. It is the struggle to survive, spirit intact, through serious illness. It's about learning to live better with an illness, than you have ever lived before.


Review: "When picking up a book about diabetes, you expect a dry, factual, impersonal book that describes the medical version of the breakdown of your insulin producing pancreas and the different signs and symptoms, not a book that is heartwarming, personal and something every single person who has diabetes can say, 'wait a minute, that's what happened to me!' Joyce and Jim Lavene tackle this subject with a unique approach, through first person experience from the patient's point of view as to what is happening. They discuss their emotions, the family's reaction, the struggle of changing your entire life because of one small dysfunction of the body. I was thrilled with the unique approach, in this very identifiable I've-been-there feeling that the Lavene's provoke through their personal struggle of a life changing experience. I encourage anyone who is or has a family member who is a diabetic to pick up this book and read it." Christian Romance Author Cheryl Wolverton
