Stephen L. Hauser is an acclaimed physician and neuroimmunologist who has spent his career performing cutting-edge research on multiple sclerosis (MS), a devastating brain disease that affects millions of people worldwide.

This heartwarming book, written in accessible prose and related with equal measures of humor, empathy, and excitement, is sure to inspire.
