As for Tomorrow, I Cannot Say: Thirty-Three Years With Multiple Sclerosis

I have written this, more than 40,000 words, with one finger in just over a month. It has flowed out of me so fast, I can only conclude that I needed to tell my story. New Zealander Diana Neutze was in her late 20s, living in London with her husband and young son, when she discovered that she had multiple sclerosis. More than three decades later, wheelchair-bound and largely confined to her Christchurch home, she has told her remarkable story. Fiercely independent and passionately determined, she has fought her illness with every psychological and physical weapon in her armory. Unflinchingly honest, deeply moving, often humorous, As For Tomorrow, I Cannot Say is a tribute to the power of the human spirit.Born and educated in Christchurch, Diana Neutze has a PhD in English and was for many years a tutor at the University of Canterbury. She is the co-author of Design for a Century: A History of the School of Engineering, University of Canterbury 1887-1987. Her poetry has appeared in Australian, American and New Zealand journals and her collection of poems, Unwinding the Labyrinth, was published by Hazard Press in 1997.
