In This Together: My Story

New York Times Bestseller: Ann Romney’s “breezy and frank” memoir of her MS diagnosis and her husband’s unwavering support through the struggle (The Washington Post).

A lot of people talk about a transformation that happens when life throws you a curve ball, and the big one in my life was my MS diagnosis. . . . In sharing my story, I want to give others hope as I’ve been given hope on this journey.—Ann Romney

When Mitt and Ann Romney met in their late teens, a great American love story began. And their life together would be blessed: five healthy sons, financial security, and a home filled with joy. Then, in 1998, Ann was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

She couldn’t believe it was real; the disease had no cure at that time—and it still doesn’t. Mitt told her that day that they would tackle the diagnosis as a team: They were in it together. “If you have to be in a wheelchair,” he told her, “I’ll be right there to push it.” And Ann thought, “But I’ll be the one in the wheelchair.”

A caregiver and helper her whole life, she’d crossed a terrible invisible line. Instead of caring for her family, she was now the patient. Ann and Mitt would go on to face the most frightening and humbling experience of their lives.

From reflections on her early life, her marriage, and her diagnosis and recovery to the sources of her faith and the stories of others who overcame adversity and inspired her to keep going, In This Together is a brave and deeply honest portrait of a family facing an unexpected blow, often in the most public of circumstances.
