For Hope 27 years old

In three months, she'll hardly recognize her own face. In six months, she won't be able to use her hands. In a year, she'll need a miracle. But the disease that is so ravaging her body can never destroy her spirit.

The life and death of a young woman who suffered from scleroderma, and how she and her family coped.
