I was immediately drawn to Diane and we have been friends ever since. She is one of the strongest, kindest, and most vibrant women I know and her confidence and optimism are truly heartening. Her tale is one of unimaginable loss, adversity and struggle but the reader does not get consumed by the tragedy.
