When Parkinson's Strikes Early: Voices, Choices, Resources, and Treatment>> Jeana does indeed, and so do over 60 other members of our Parkinsons Information Exchange Network -- their voices and writings about living with young onset PD is the focus of the book. It is being published by Hunter House Publishers in August, edited and compiled by two other Parkinsn list members - Barbara Blake-Krebs and myself. We have worked on this project, with the help and encouragement of Jeanette Fuhr, for the last 2 1/2 years and are thrilled it is finally about to be "born." All of our royalties are being donated to Parkinson's research and to programs improving care for PWP. The book can be advance ordered from Hunter House by calling 800-266-5592 - ask to speak to Christina, who we recently learned is also a Parkinson's caregiver . Or through Amazon. I'd just like to point out that the Amazon page has errors, which we've been trying to get them to correct for months. The book summary has some errors (we didn't write the summary) and I have never been an RN or a social worker. Just for the record: the authors are Barbara Blake-Krebs, MA, and Linda Herman, MLS. The book's foreword was written by Susan Reese, RN, LCSW and coordinator of the APDA Young Onset Parkinson's Information and Referral Center. We hope in addition to raising funds it will also help increase Parkinson's awareness. Barb, i'm sure will have more to say about the book.
