Night into Day

Alexandra Farrell runs a travel agency specializing in serving the handicapped. She knows what is needed since she is handicapped herself with rheumatoid arthritis. The disease has already necessitated hand surgery, wrist replacement and hip replacement. She is months away from having the other hip replaced when she meets Patrick O'Casey, star football quarterback. At 36, he is at a crossroads of his own. The road to true love for these two is very rocky, lots of pain and insecurity. A real tearjerker with a lot of information of the disease and living with it. Since this was written in the 80s I had to go look up what the status of this disease is today. Still a painful life, newer meds can slow the damage, but still no cure or show more definitive cause. Well done. show less
