Depends on what you can take.

Sick is a good movie, but hard to watch.

Give Me One Wish is a good book, as is Breathing for a Living. I really didn't like Alive at 25. Read nothing by Lurlene McDaniel, it's kind of crap lol. Anything fiction really wouldn't be your best bet. I liked From a Taste of Salt too. There really aren't any memoirs of a husband or wife, only parents and the Cfer themselves.

Just FYI, those two are my favorites as well... Give Me One Wish, and Breathing for a Living. I love those. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

The bad thing about CF books is, most often there's no happy ending<img src="i/expressions/puppy_eyes.gif" border="0">
I have recently read <i>A Thousand Tomorrows</i> by Karen Kingsbury and it was a good, fiction book (romance) so on second thought, it may not be what you're wanting<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0">
The author said that one of her children was/is on a basketball team with a child w/CF and that's what inspired her to write the book & raise more awareness about CF.
Anyway, it is about a young lady w/CF that is a rodeo barrel racer and she falls for a bull rider. It explains about her daily struggles w/ health, and of course there's romance, etc. It's pretty good. Of course a tear jerker in a couple of places.
Here's a link to it:

I should have never read that chapter. Now I want to buy the book a thousand tomorrows. Anyhow there is a movie called Alex the life of a child, she is a little girl with cf, sad ending tho, but good movie and her father wrote a book about her too, with the same title as the movie.

IMHO "Alex: The Life of a Child" is the best CF related book I have ever read. The movie wasn't nearly as good as the book. Sad ending though...for sure.
