The Uninvited Guest
by
Jean Filewych
Carol is living a fortunate life with a devoted husband and three children. She is about to embark on a dream career as a speech language pathologist. And then the couple hear two ominous words in a doctor’s office: multiple sclerosis. So begins Carol and Paul’s new life—with an autoimmune disease looming over them. Although MS has no cure, there is still hope: Paul could go into remission. As Carol strives to stay strong, everything she loves is put at risk: her marriage, her relationships with her children, her budding career, and even her faith. How do you find resolve under relentless strain and loss? How do you find joy in growing grief? How do you find hope under the shadow of disease? Join Carol, her husband, and their family on a harrowing journey that lasts over a decade.
Jean Filewych is a writer from Alberta who taught high school English for over twenty years. In this novel, she draws upon her lived experience with her late husband’s multiple sclerosis to tell a story that is honest, real, and hopeful, and that honours his memory. When she’s not writing, she spends her time reading voraciously, singing in the Ante Meridiem Choir, hosting family get-togethers, and exploring the beautiful trails along Edmonton’s river valley with her husband Albaro.
