A Son's Journey from Parkinson's Disease Caretaker to Advocate (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798218406639)

This book is, first, a memoir of and praise for my mother, Sharon Riff Ackerman, who was my best friend through both our lives until her untimely death. The book is a heartfelt and often heart-wrenching recollection of the beginnings of her Parkinson's disease symptoms to the inevitable end. This book, too, is primarily for relatives and caregivers of those with Parkinson's.

However, I also want to reach those who are not aware of Parkinson's throughout the world. Until we ensure that others outside the local or regional Parkinson's community are made aware, a cure will be further from our grasp. Others, too, may find the book helpful, especially for those suffering from associated diseases.
