Michael J. Fox writes about life with Parkinson's disease yet manages to not let you feel sorry for him. Instead, I was awed by all he has been able to accomplish while battling PD. The book follows four major themes; work, politics, faith, and family. Fox does a wonderful job of connecting the four. The book opened my eyes to the hard work and the all too political aspects behind furthering medical research. I read this book because I was a fan of Michael J. Fox, the actor. After reading it, I have a new respect for Michael J. Fox, a man living his life to the fullest with Parkinson's disease, who happened to be an actor along the way.
