About the Book:
Cassandra J. Rawles-Hutchison was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) on October 3, 1995, but it has not kept her from pursuing her life’s purpose as a mother, career professional, university graduate, and public servant. Despite the challenges that many people living with MS face, the MS journey can be a road paved with laughter, love, strength, faith, and God’s grace. I Have It, but It Doesn’t Have Me: My MS Journey Through My Faith shares the divine focus, tenacity, and resilience of Ms. Rawles-Hutchison that have astounded doctors familiar with the neurological limitations of an MS diagnosis. This book also helps to demystify the commonly misunderstood condition, encourages a sense of patient empathy from caregivers, medical personnel, family, friends, and clergy, and shares available resources, possibilities, and realities of living with MS.
About the Author:
Born and raised in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, Cassandra J. Rawles-Hutchison is the younger daughter of Josephine P. Rawles and the late Robert T. Rawles. Sparked by a campus visit with a babysitter, at 6 years old Cassy announced to her father that she would be attending Bowie State College–and she did just that, becoming laser focused on education despite signs of MS throughout her junior high and high school years. After earning her diploma from Crossland High School, she went further to graduate from Bowie State College with a B.S. in Psychology and later with an M.A. in Counseling Psychology. After working as Director with Maryland Social Service Offices, she retired in 2016. Cassy enjoys swimming, taking walks, and visiting loved ones. She is a mother, a sister, an aunt, and an active member of the National MS Society.
