| Another Alice 'I walk slowly to the car, wishing with all my heart I could run. If I did not have rheumatoid arthritis I would be skipping across the park, screaming at everyone that I got a First at university. Well, I cannot run, but my heart skips instead.' At 18 Alice Peterson was one of Britain's top junior tennis players and set to go to America on a tennis scholarship. But overnight her dreams were shattered when she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. With wit, pace and candour Alice writes about her tennis-mad childhood and her battle with RA. She vividly describes the conflict between wanting to lead a teenager's life and suffereing the ageing symptoms of a degenerative disease. Another Alice is an uplifting, humourous and heart-warming story, that is absolutely unputdownable. Another Alice is dedicated to Alice's mother and father. 'I have just finished reading your wonderful book and wanted to write to say how truly amazing & brave & beautiful it is.'
