This review is from: Parkinson's: A Personal Story of Acceptance (Paperback)

Heroes are never made. Courage comes from fear of the unknown. We try to live life and make each day count. These are but a few of the clichés that I've heard when people talk about those who fight life threatening illnesses, yet this can not begin to describe this book.

Packed into this 150 page book is more than the life story of someone who has been stricken with an illness in the prime of life, it is an inspiration to everyone. The dealing with Parkinson's is often hard and troubling and in this story you'll see what it takes to be strong in the face of this illness.

The story is happy, moving, sad, joyful and even angry at times and each of the feelings and emotions gives you a sense of realism thought out the life of Sandi Gordon. Gordon shows you what courage and faith is all about.

The emotion throughout the entire book is what kept me reading from cover to cover. The dealing that Gordon goes through despite the way the disease takes over impressed me. Congratulation on an excellent book Branden Publishing!
