| The Brow of Dawn |
| One Woman's Journey with Multiple Sclerosis |
| Catherine Edward |
Catherine Edward first noticed the unusual bodily sensations in
November 1990. Running errands on a cold November day,
she was struck by the feeling that her left side was burning hot
and the right side was icy cold, as if a plumb-line had been
dropped from the centre of her forehead. She spent the next
year and a half trying to find out what was wrong with her.
Finally, in 1992, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Until then, she had been a broadcast journalist for CBC, a
writer, and a mother, whose energy and drive were
unstoppable. Now she was a woman with MS.
The Brow of Dawn tells the story of an amazing life, and how
this unpredictable disease has sent one woman on a different
path from where she began. Written with clarity of thought,
and an ability to meet the issues in an honest, forthright, and
engaging style, Catherine Edward writes about the day-to-day
truth of the disease, all the while maintaining her courage and
sense of humour. The result is a recipe for living one's life:
with MS or without.
