Verity Red’s Diary – A Story of Surviving M.E.

Prepare to laugh, cry and grind your teeth with frustration as you read this day-by-day account of a year in the life of Verity Red, an M.E. sufferer. Verity not only has to cope with the scepticism and lack of understanding of many
people towards this only recently recognised condition, but also with the boredom, the feeling of low self-worth, the aching, tired body, as well as a craving for comfort food (chocolate in particular) to make it all seem better.
We are privy to the notable events of Verity’s life during this period (the birth of her little nephew and the addition of three kittens to the household), her everyday routine (visits to an osteopath and the constant struggle to
complete even the most mundane of chores) and her innermost thoughts (suspicions regarding her partner Ben’s fidelity - rational or otherwise). When Verity is given a book of spells for the modern witch, life becomes much more
interesting and fun with the arrival of the gnomes, pixies, fairies and Patrick the dragon...
Throughout this year-long chronicle Verity maintains a mischievously wry wit that makes this book hugely enjoyable and inspiring to read.
