Howard Publication has announced the upcoming release of 'My Invisible Battle with Multiple Sclerosis (MS),' a memoir by Shruti Ghate that provides a raw and resilient account of living with an often invisible chronic illness. The book, scheduled for publication on September 2, 2025, chronicles the author's emotional and physical journey after her body began to fail without warning, detailing experiences from wheelchair transitions to navigating pain, vulnerability, and social misunderstandings.
The memoir reveals how Multiple Sclerosis chipped away at independence, dignity, and mobility, yet the author refused to surrender, transforming fear into faith and despair into determination. Through her narrative, Ghate highlights travels for treatment, struggles behind closed doors, and the enduring power of family, motherhood, and self-belief. The book serves as a testament to human endurance and the unspoken strength required to persist through daily challenges.
By sharing her story, Ghate becomes a voice for millions who suffer unseen, emphasizing that 'invisible does not mean imaginary, and broken does not mean defeated.' The memoir's central message, captured in the quote 'Not all battles are visible. But every warrior deserves to be seen,' aims to foster greater awareness and understanding of invisible illnesses. Readers living with chronic conditions or supporting those who do may find comfort, courage, and connection in its pages.
The publication of 'My Invisible Battle' carries significant implications for public discourse on chronic illness, particularly conditions like Multiple Sclerosis that lack visible external markers. By documenting the realities of MS—from medical treatments to social interactions—the book could enhance empathy and reduce stigma, encouraging more inclusive conversations in healthcare, workplaces, and communities. For the publishing industry, it represents a growing emphasis on diverse, authentic narratives that address health and resilience.
Available in paperback and Kindle editions, the book can be pre-ordered through retailers like Amazon, where it is listed with the ISBN-13 979-8263576097. As a memoir categorized under health and inspirational genres, it joins a broader literary movement toward personal stories that educate and empower, potentially influencing how society perceives and supports individuals with invisible disabilities.
