Dancing with monsters

the long version

This is a book about monsters. Not the cute, laughably incompetent ones you see in animated movies, but the ones you meet in your own life: ugly thoughts, unexpected losses, inexcusable evils. A decade after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Kate discovered that what she knew about creativity and transformation could help her deal with the frustrations of living with chronic illness and of life in general. Through memoir, essay, and fanciful stories, this book explores the landscape of chronic illness, describes its contours, and invites you to choreograph a dance with your own monsters, whatever they may be.
