This book recounts the author's experience of being diagnosed with
young-onset Parkinson's disease at the age of forty-eight and his first
four years of living with this illness. With honesty and thoughtfulness,
he reveals how Parkinson's has affected his life, which includes
experiences of deeper and more authentic relationships; gaining new
insights about time, priorities, and personal values; experiencing
reconciliation with others and within himself; and benefitting from
occasions for meaningful growth, greater wisdom, deeper gratitude, and
lasting joy. These reflections are authentic, poignant, at times,
humorous and heart-wrenching, and ultimately hopeful.
