"Explores the effects of the author's illness on raising three children and his relationship to his wife."
"Illness came calling when Richard M. Cohen was twenty-five years old. A young television news producer with expectations of a limitless future, his foreboding that his health was not quite right turned into the harsh reality that something was very wrong when diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. For thirty years Cohen has done battle with MS only to be ambushed by two bouts of colon cancer at the end of the millennium. And yet, he has written a hopeful book about celebrating life and coping with chronic illness. "Welcome to my world," writes Cohen, "where I carry around dreams, a few diseases, and the determination to live life my way." Autobiographical at its roots, reportorial, and expansive, Blindsided explores the effects of illness on raising three children and on his relationship with wife, Meredith Vieira (host of ABC's "The View" and the syndicated "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"). Cohen tackles the nature of denial and resilience, the ins and outs of the struggle for emotional health, and the redemptive effects of a loving family. And while dealing with illness is not the way he chose to live his life, it did choose him."@en
"For thirty years, [the author] has battled with multiple sclerosis (MS).... By the end of the millennium, [he] was suddenly clashing with another fierce adversary. Twice in one year, firefights with colon cancer erupted.... This book is [his] reluctant memoir... [It] is about surviving and flourishing, rising above fear and self-doubt and, of course, anger.... And this book is not about sickness but about the search for emotional health. -Pref."
"Although he has been has been fighting multiple sclerosis (MS) for decades, the author has chosen to focus on surviving and flourishing, rising above fear and self-doubt. Throughout, he shows a humorous side that is vulnerable, without self-indulgence and with acceptance and recognition of the inevitability of a progressive disease."
