The Endo Chronicles is a unique, creative, compassionate, and smart body of work (including a most appealing cover) interweaving the lives of six women suffering from endometriosis. This clever fiction full of ups, downs, tears and laughs (plus loads of romance and happy endings), is based upon the very real struggles endometriosis causes in which one in ten women suffer. Every woman would gain to read this novel for the sense of camaraderie (you need not suffer alone) or to support someone you know who deals with endo. I found Beth’s path especially sad and profound, a kick to purposeful action for the rest of us in being a better example to express a kind word, deed, giving a spare moment to someone hurting and in desperate need. We could all be more aware. Men would gain deeper understanding, as well. I recommend this read for all. The author’s style is not only witty and fun, she shares her passion and love-spreading devotion regarding this difficult condition. She is donating proceeds from the sale of this book to further research on endometriosis.
