Jenifer's girlhood pact with her sisters Valerie and Meredith--nothing will ever break us apart--guides them as Jenifer faces down one of the most devastating illnesses known to humankind. That same enduring pact inspires the creation of Project A.L.S., a movement started by the sisters that changes the way science and medicine approach research for ALS and the related diseases Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, and which has already raised more than $18 million. Will Project A.L.S. help scientists discover medicine in time for her? Jenifer answers these questions and others in this memoir that celebrates a life fuelled by memory. Tales from the Bed forces us to reconsider society's notion of "having it all, " and illustrates, more than anything, the importance of endurance, hope, and, most of all, love.
