I truly enjoyed the organization of the book, the intimate tone and the openness of the authors and the thoroughness of the subject matter. I particularly enjoyed the way they offer hope and a forward-looking attitude. They refuse to say, "Life is over now that we've got this disease."

Garie, Church, and Conkling pack a lot of information in this modest looking book. I'm impressed. In, "Living Well With Parkinson's Disease," I found much of interest for people who don't have the disease or even know someone with it. It's simply a good book about surviving the rigors of life as many people do, challenged by bodies, and sometimes minds, that don't do what we want them to do. This couple copes well and has much to offer. "Living Well With Parkinson's Disease is published by Collins (2007) and is available on-line.
