Author Sarah Jean Snyder was nine years old when her father was diagnosed with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). She was too young to understand what was happening to her father and her family, but she began to see things falling apart. She watched her father deteriorate and become dependent on others for his care. Little did Sarah know she would receive an MS diagnosis during her lifetime.
In He Said Saga, she shares her story, intertwined with that of her father's experiences, which he chronicled in a book titled, Saga: One Man's Battle with MS. The Beginning. She offers snippets and snapshots of her health and faith story.
Snyder tells how, through her father's circumstances, she learned how to function through sadness, how to trust even with unanswered prayers, and that life isn't always fair. However, she also learned to focus on the good and be grateful for it. In the end, sickness isn't the story.
