Book Review: No Longer Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf

by Dene Danielle Hopkins I had the pleasure of reading this book about Dene and her experiences dealing with Lupus, since 1992. The book is quite short (59 pages) and was a quick read, so I was able to finish the book in one sitting. It was comforting to read about someone else's dealings with thi
