<p>Catherine Edward first noticed the unusual bodily sensations in November 1990. Running errands on a cold afternoon, she was struck by the feeling that her left side was burning hot and her right side icy cold. She felt as if a plumb line had been dropped from the centre of her forehead. The CBC journalist spent the next year and a half trying to determine what was wrong with her. Finally, in 1992, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Up until that point, Edward had defined herself as a productive and energetic writer and mother. Now she was a woman with MS. The Brow of Dawn tells the story of one person's struggle with a crippling degenerative disease. Based on daily journal entries that Edward wrote under the guidance of her Halifax neurologist, Dr. Jock Murray, this courageous first-person account will make readers cry and laugh out loud. The Brow of Dawn is not just a diary about a disease; it is a recipe for living life to the fullest.</p>
