If you're an emotional reader that can't read accounts of terminal illness or tales of suffering, then perhaps this isn't the book for you. The author has a deep understanding of suffering and sorrow, and she tempers her writing by creating colorful characters who focus on finding the joy in each day.
Faced with challenges from an early age, Janica has already been through traumatic illness as a child, thus she has learned like many individuals who have learned about suffering through illness, that each day must be enjoyed and that we must focus on finding a joyful moment each day. When Janica meets Thomas, they fall in love. At first, Thomas is secretive and withdrawn, but Janica's joyful view of life causes him to make a fundamental change in how he views life. They fall in love and Thomas becomes a part of Janica's family and amazing group of friends. But their happiness doesn't last long when life deals them a harsh blow. Will they be able to survive the storm that is coming for them?
You, Me, and the Colors of Life was a free book from Amazon for World Book Day.
“Problems, pain, and suffering are all part of the human condition. Not only so we know what happiness is, but also because they build character, change us, teach us.”― Noa C. Walker, You, Me, and the Colors of Life
