So I sat down a few minutes ago to read and enjoy a book I bought a few weeks ago. It is written by Marcia Mueller, and I have enjoyed her books in the past. It is a series that is based on a woman who owns an agency that does investigations (mystery). So I get to the second page and read this sentence,
"His thought flashed back to his first wife, Julie, now many years dead of multiple sclerosis. Toward the end she'd also had been unmoving and silent, but there had been an absence about her, as if her essence had already left her body."
I swear it seems like MS is the popular illness in novels. And whenever someone has MS, they are either dying from it or have died due to MS. TV shows are not any better. Has it always been this way or am I just noticing this trend now?
I will probably pick the book up again. But it is a bit tattered now since I threw it across the room
