Publisher Description
In 2000, Vita Coffey, a single mother, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. In the decade that followed, she lost not only her sight and ability to walk, but many friends, her job, her father, and nearly her sanity.
Struggling through pain, regular emergency visits to the hospital, and the debilitating side effects of an ever-changing cocktail of drugs, Vita remained hopeful that one day, she would find a better treatment.
And eventually, she did.
Much to Vita’s surprise, her participation in a new clinical study in 2009 restored her life and health in ways she never knew possible—and then some.
In the battle against her disease, Vita faced many uncertain circumstances, clinging to her journal as a source of hope and stability. In Little V’s Hope, Vita tells her story of love, loss, and recovery, in her own words, for the first time.
Customer Reviews
An inspiring memoir
A heart wrenching memoir; a truly amazing read about struggle, pain, perseverance, and remaining positive in the worst of times. I would recommend this book to everyone.
Bella Vita
Having known Vita for about the last 7 years, I can say that I honestly didn't know how hard it truly was. Any time I see her she is nothing but smiles and positive energy, even when talking about some ups and downs. I read this and it amazed me to find out how difficult of a struggle it has been for her and to see how powerful and driven she is. We've had many an evenings talk over just about anything, but she'd never let on about how much pain she was in. I'm lucky to know her and am very glad she never gave up. The world should be filled with more people with as much strength and courage and love and hope as Vita.

I know how this book starts and ends without even reading it. I got to take the ride with vita from the minute she landed in Seattle,to the many trips to the clinic and back, and to her last day on her way back to Omaha. Vita is one of the strongest people I have ever met. She will be a part of my family for the rest of my life. I'm glad that the treatment she got will keep her around to see it. Love you Vita!
