OMG -- she has described the horrendous journey from diagnosis through acceptance and resignation perfectly. The death of dignity and the rearranging of your life, your hopes, dreams and expectations is all there. I just wish I could say that I am handling it all as well as she is.

Why you would love this:
I was so thrilled when I received this in the post, I started on it immediately and I finished it the next day! That is how good it is. Although it is not fiction, but I think this book is definitely worth reading and I really enjoyed it.
Another Alice is a non-fiction, autobiographic novel written by a truly inspiring author. It focuses on Alice Peterson's life before and after it was plagued by rheumatoid arthritis. It's the story of a young girl's dreams to be the nation's golden girl in tennis but unfortunately severely shattered by the diagnosis of RA. It also discusses on how she coped with the disease with the help from her family and friends, and her rock-solid determination.
Another Alice is a wonderfully written, inspiring and uplifting book about handling the curve balls hurled at you by life. Overcoming each obstacle and challenge, it's a truly engaging and poignant book which you will be compelled to read on and on until you reach the end. I loved this book because it's taught me so much. Never take things in life for granted and never stop believing, even when you're at your lowest. Alice Peterson is truly an inspiration.
Rating: 8/10
