Long before laughter was prescribed for illness, Anne Ellis wrote
with unexpected humor of her extended bout with the "villain"
asthma.
"Sunshine Preferred" sums up the attitude of a remarkable woman
whose illness interrupted a busy life as politician and breadwinner
for two children. In the 1920s she is shuffled from home in
Colorado to sanitariums in sunny Arizona and New Mexico. Throughout
the long ordeal, she showed her zest for life in writing vivid
sketches of her doctors, nurses, and fellow patients.
Anne Ellis advises the reader: "Don't read this book unless you
are a person who never has been ill, or who is now ill, or who is
just recovering from illness, or who hopes never to be ill."
