In summer 2008, David Schofield was informed that he had been diagnosed with myeloma. At this point, Schofield made up his mind that he wanted to draw something positive from the diagnosis and so set out to understand the illness.

"Troubled Water: Living With Myeloma" is the result of Schofield's deep and personal investigation into the disorder. The book explores pastoral questions about myeloma and discusses the influence that this incurable disease has exerted on both himself and his family. The author describes these thoughts and feelings from a largely spiritual perspective, drawing on his own faith and discussing how this has helped him through the ordeal.

David Schofield shares his whole experience of living with myeloma: from his hospitalisation to the practical methods that he has applied to bring a sense of normality back to his life. Ultimately, he looks at life as troubled water, but with God as the bridge that guides us to a return to the peace of the father.
