Chris Kill's chronicle of his diagnosis with multiple sclerosis and the difficult months that followed is sad, funny, and uplifting without being sentimental or unrealistic. The artist-musician's comics illustrate his struggle to come to terms with a disabling disease while juggling a job, a band, and a new relationship. Kill doesn't sugar-coat the challenges he faces—America isn't so great for people without health insurance, and his frequent bouts of depression are understandable—but his quiet perseverance leaves readers with a sense of hope.
