"My illness is stripping me of everything, but there is no one richer than me." These words were written by Antonella Di Miscio, a young woman full of life, yet weakened from childhood by a severe illness: muscular dystrophy.
Her deep faith, her love of life, her love for the growing circle of people who surrounded her, and her profound questions about suffering—how to face it, how to live with it—are the most vivid threads of this book. It is impossible to summarize Antonella's questions, her generous and profound answers. You must read them yourself. Antonella died at just thirty-two years old.
Yet she lived as a protagonist in her own story, launched numerous initiatives for people with disabilities, and became a source of strength, light, and spiritual nourishment for many who knew her. This book tells her life through the testimonies of those who knew her and through her own writings, left behind.
