This is the promotional poster for Jen's book. Jen is the daughter of Mo's friend. She is currently on a tour promoting her book. As a bonus, she's visiting friends she hasn't been with in a while and some places in Canada she's always wanted to see. I read and really enjoyed her book. It is a well written presentation of herself and the tenacity and humour that have been required to enable her to not just survive but thrive through Multiple Sclerosis. As Mo was her host in Vernon, I was in her company a few times. She has the most lively and expressive eyes and refuses to let a conversation be boring. In spite of the fact that she can hardly make herself heard and is a quadriplegic, she continues to work and look for laughs and love. She has a boyfriend,Tom. In one of the last sections of the book she writes:
" Tom hugged me harder.
He continues to hug me.
I know I don't want to ask a doctor to kill me. There is always the possibility of another kiss."
