Rating: Summary: This book is great. Review: "This is one of the most insightful and thought provoking books that I have ever read on chronic diseases. It delves into the the private recesses of human emotion and accurately describes the uncertainty and fear that all of us with chronic diseases suffer. It is the first book that I have read that departs from the typical medical/technical babble to address the human side of the equation and, further, it speaks to the youngest people affected. I would recommend this book strongly not only to those who have to deal with this issue, but also to those who care about people dealing with chronic disease -- and who among us does not fall into that category."
Rating: Summary: A Touching and Inspirational Look at Chronic Illness Review: Once we reach adulthood, I think we often forget how difficult it is to be "different" as children. Ms. Huegel's book was truly inspirational, and although ideal for individuals and families dealing with chronic illness, its message of hope is inspirational to everyone. I highly recommend this book- you'll truly be touched by the children you'll meet and their stories, eloquently presented by Ms. Huegel's professional yet surprisingly personal writing style.

Rating: Summary: "Help and Hope" could not be more true Review: This book is a touching piece which puts a human face on the many stories of dealing with chronic disease. It can--and should--be read not only by the families and friends of children who deal daily with chronic disease and adversity, but also by all of us whose actions have the ability to touch another's life.This book is a straightforward way to see the thoughts and feelings behind the brave face put on by so many children with chronic disease, and I am a better person for having read it. Many cheers to Ms. Huegel and her team for wonderful work. Young People and Chronic Illness should be required reading for pre-med and children's service personnel the world over.
