When I first saw Sharon Baldacci, we were both in the midst
of a crowd at the NMSS 2007 Conference. She looked a bit
tired and there was nowhere to sit. I was seated in my power
chair. Then I saw this remarkable pin she was wearing and
commented to her. Our conversation grew longer and when
I learned she had a book, I got my camera ready and
snapped the photo above. She and I hit it off immediately
and talked at least an hour.

She said she would send her book to me, as we exchanged
cards. I couldn't wait to read it and when it arrived and I was
reading, the remembrance of our conversation flashed in
my mind. I slowed down and read more thoughtfully
looking for the meaning of a Sundog Moment. I didn't want
the book to end. I know I like a book when I come to the last
few chapters and read very slowly.

The main character, Elizabeth, lives a contented life as a
wife, mother, daughter and friend. With the diagnosis of
MS, she and her world change but she has the fairly typical
remission after her diagnosis and keeps thinking she will be
just fine.

When her MS begins to be a constant in her life, she begins
to view her life and roles differently. As her husband over
protects her and her mother tries to control her life, she
reaches out to those who might really understand what she
is going through. She finds this in the Northern Neck
Neuromuscular Support Group.

Her adventures with this group echo what happens with
some groups looking for answers as they dabble in the use of
marijuana and lose a member to suicide. Elizabeth has an
experience with the law and her husband is lost trying to
understand what she is doing with her life.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth is searching through her faith and
after hearing a particular sermon on sundogs, she holds her
hope of seeing a sundog at some point in her life and that it
will make all the difference. A sundog refers to the
rainbowlike weather phenomenon in the sky that
supposedly means change is coming.

The author knows about MS, having been diagnosed in the
1980s, and uses her knowledge to spin fiction that we can
relate to as a woman with MS or as a spouse, mother or
friend of a woman with MS.

Does Elizabeth see her sundog? Do she and her husband and
family find their way? Well, when you read the book you
will know. When you realize this is her first novel, you will
most likely agree that you want Sharon to write her next
book and soon.

Keep looking at the sky for your sundog. It will happen
when you least expect it.
