Diabetes: An Emotional Journey
Review by
David Mendosa
The book I am reviewing this month is so beautiful, so emotional, so different that I’m tempted to say that it’s very unique. It is certainly unique, one of a kind. Grammatically, nothing can be “very unique,” a phrase I never use, but Diabetes: An Emotional Journey comes close.
This beautifully hand-bound and illustrated hardcover book is a labor of the love of a mother, Renea Jo Zosel, for her daughter, Elizabeth, now 7, who was diagnosed with diabetes at age 2.
Part memoir, part poetry, part letters to her daughter, this book is all about the emotional roller coaster that having a child with diabetes is.
At $24.95 the book is not cheap, but neither is diabetes. Anyway, the author
will donate a portion from the sale of each book to organizations dedicated to
curing childhood diseases. The book is available from
Amazon.com or directly from the publisher, Zay Publishing Company.
