Story of courage and determination Susan I started to browse through Enemy Within on Saturday morning thinking I would add it onto my stack of summer reading books. Well, once I got started I just couldn't put it down and finished it before the end of the weekend. What a treat, a story of courage and determination that is neither sweet nor preachy. Ms. Ager's characters sweep you into her story and while she certainly celebrates her female friends, it is the men in her life th. Karen Ager angel in disguise! Megan Braunberger This book was recommended to me, with perfect timing for a broken body and soul. I had already tried to find strength on my own, and at times I had been successful but never for long. I needed more from the people around me and I didn't know how to reach out. Karen's book helped me find more inner strength, by helping me accept that this journey had only just begun and that it wouldn't be easy. By giving this book to friends and family,. "A great read - inspirational and moving" according to Jules. I started reading this book when it arrived and I could not put it down. A battle with your body is one you cannot escape from, yet the author's determination and eventual acceptance is inspirational. I feel this book is not only a must have read for any sufferer of RA, but for anyone who wants to gain the feeling that 'anything is possible'! In my opinion, a must-have-read.
