    About the book

    The Roses Speak: A Chronic Illness Journey explores the reality of living and dying with a chronic disease through the eyes of the cystic fibrosis community.  Encompassing 100 voices from ten countries, this book offers insights into the psychological, sociological, and spiritual aspects of illness. These interviews are supplemented by the author’s reflections on living with cystic fibrosis, as well as his experience as a hospital chaplain.  The Roses Speak balances stories of grief and loss with joy and hope as innovative therapies signal the dawning of a new era in chronic illness care.
