Default A children's book, with MS mentioned

When I was in 'limbo' period, last winter, I often wanted to read to keep my mind off things happening to my body, but didn't want to bust out the classics or anything that involved 'deep thinking'.

So I returned to books I read and loved as a pre teen. Think Judy Blume for example.

I've since been trying to collect all these old books off Amazon (I have quite a few I adored as a girl!) and I just got "The Pistachio Prescription" by Paula Danziger. I read this book years ago, and it's fun to read it again, and remember parts of it.

I was blown away to see the author write about the main character's relationship with her mother, and then mention that her mother's mother had Multiple Sclerosis!

Seriously, I didn't remember this detail from back then reading the book, but I did a "Woah!" reading it tonight
