Reviews for Cystic Fibrosis
A solid introduction to the disease...A plethora of stories accompanies each chapter....Young adults with the disease will feel a part of a worldwide community after reading this book. There is optimism as well as sadness here, but most of all there is the resonance of CF sufferers' voices telling others, 'You are not alone.'
