Summary

What happens when the person you love has serious chronic illness? What happens to the love itself?

In this searing and poignant memoir, Alex Belth and Emily J. Shapiro delve deep into their relationship history, what they brought to their marriage, and what remains. At first glance, it seems the biggest challenge they face is Emily’s chronic illness - and the impact that’s had on their life as a couple. But her medical conditions aren’t the only thing that set the relationship on a precipice. When they start to work through their issues, it prompts a closer examination of Alex and the ways his needs and personal history challenge their partnership. Through candid and honest storytelling, Alex and Emily peel back the many layers of complexity that both form and threaten their bond.

By turns funny and heartbreaking, Here I Are will resonate with anyone who’s ever been in love. To appreciate this journey, you need not have serious illness, you need only have a heart.

Had to stop listening

I’m so sorry but I literally could not listen to the woman’s voice. She went up at the end of every clause like it was a question… I felt like my ears were being attacked. I’ve never had to stop listening to an audiobook before!
