Book excerpt: Are you living with a chronic illness? Would you like to thrive in spite of your illness? In Thriving with Parkinson's Finding Joy After the Diagnosis, Teresa Jackson tells her compelling life story from a place of authenticity, outlining both the challenges and the silver linings that come with a Young Onset Parkinson's Disease diagnosis. Teresa recalls the day she was diagnosed and the decisions she made immediately following. The emotions are so raw that you can almost hear the fight music play as she tells of her struggle from battling the darkest days after her initial diagnosis to gracing the stage of the Mrs. Virginia Pageant answering her on-stage question as a top ten finalist. Teresa was determined to overcome the obstacles her disease put in her path. You will leave motivated to climb your own mountain. Having worked in healthcare more than thirty years, Teresa knew she had a tough road ahead. However, with sheer force of character and in true fashion, she met her challenge head on. Both her pain and her triumph are palpable as she shares the blue skies found within the darkest storms. She clearly has not allowed Parkinson's disease define who she is or what she can accomplish. After successfully managing her own disease, she felt the responsibility to share with others. Teresa's hope with this book is that you will leave inspired to confront your own journey with newfound determination. "Whether you are reading this as a young person with PD, a family member or friend, or you have no connection to the disease at all, your reading journey will ignite feelings of empathy, admiration, and ultimately inspiration from her words." Anna Grill "Teresa suggests ways for persons to take charge of the progression of their disease with various kinds of exercise - from boxing to rock climbing to ballet. She also recommends checking with the doctor before starting an exercise program. She writes about the importance of attitude in coping with the disease, as well as the importance of changing how you view your Parkinson's. According to Teresa, an attitude of hope helps us maintain a positive attitude and helps change the way a person approaches their Parkinson's disease." Cheryl Reames "The title of this book speaks to exactly how Teresa has chosen to live her life; not merely surviving with Parkinson's, but learning how to thrive through it. Not only does she want this for her life, but also for others living with Parkinson's." Anna Zatkiewicz "A must read for those diagnosed with Parkinson's or any chronic disease. This is a story of hope and finding faith in the midst of life's trials." Tiffany Rogers, Mrs. Virginia 2020 "This book will enlighten you and lift your spirits. Her book brings you to her struggle and fight to not let Parkinson's define her." Cathy Norred "Though she be but little she is fierce." William Shakespeare

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tragic, true story of Helen Spence, the teenager who murdered her father’s killers in the insulated lower White River area of Arkansas in 1931. The once-thriving houseboat communities along Arkansas’s White River are long gone, and few remember the sensational murder story that set local darling Helen Spence on a tragic path. In 1931, Spence shocked Arkansas when she avenged her father’s murder in a DeWitt courtroom. The state soon discovered that no prison could hold her. For the first time, prison records are unveiled to provide an essential portrait. Join author Denise Parkinson for an intimate look at a Depression-era tragedy. The legend of Helen Spence refuses to be forgotten—despite her unmarked grave. “Most memorably, Parkinson evokes the natural beauty of the White River itself. But more importantly, she’s given Helen Spence, daughter of the river, a sympathetic hearing—something in its pulp version of events Daring Detective did not.”—Memphis Flyer “Denise details Helen’s life, from the murder of her father to the horrific treatment she received at the hands of the law, including how prison officials seemed to entice her to escape a final time, with the attempt culminating in her murder.”—Only in Arkansas

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael J. Fox abandoned high school to pursue an acting career, but went on to receive honorary degrees from several universities and garner the highest accolades for his acting, as well as for his writing. In his new book, he inspires and motivates graduates to recognize opportunities, maximize their abilities, and roll with the punches--all with his trademark optimism, warmth, and humor. In A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future, Michael draws on his own life experiences to make a case that real learning happens when "life goes skidding sideways." He writes of coming to Los Angeles from Canada at age eighteen and attempting to make his way as an actor. Fox offers up a comically skewed take on how, in his own way, he fulfilled the requirements of a college syllabus. He learned Economics as a starving artist; an unexpected turn as a neophyte activist schooled him in Political Science; and his approach to Comparative Literature involved stacking books up against their movie versions. Replete with personal stories and hilarious anecdotes, Michael J. Fox's new book is the perfect gift for graduates.

She encourages all of us to be empowered through education, self-awareness, and faith. This book is about embracing your own style and grace in your journey with PD . . . as Maria says "summoning your inner diva.""

Book excerpt: A funny, highly personal, gorgeously written account of what it's like to be a 30-year-old man who is told he has an 80-year-old's disease. "Life is great. Sometimes, though, you just have to put up with a little more crap." -- Michael J. Fox In September 1998, Michael J. Fox stunned the world by announcing he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease -- a degenerative neurological condition. In fact, he had been secretly fighting it for seven years. The worldwide response was staggering. Fortunately, he had accepted the diagnosis and by the time the public started grieving for him, he had stopped grieving for himself. Now, with the same passion, humor, and energy that Fox has invested in his dozens of performances over the last 18 years, he tells the story of his life, his career, and his campaign to find a cure for Parkinson's. Combining his trademark ironic sensibility and keen sense of the absurd, he recounts his life -- from his childhood in a small town in western Canada to his meteoric rise in film and television which made him a worldwide celebrity. Most importantly however, he writes of the last 10 years, during which--with the unswerving support of his wife, family, and friends -- he has dealt with his illness. He talks about what Parkinson's has given him: the chance to appreciate a wonderful life and career, and the opportunity to help search for a cure and spread public awareness of the disease. He is a very lucky man, indeed. The Michael J. Fox Foundation Michael J. Fox is donating the profits from his book to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, which is dedicated to fast-forwarding the cure for Parkinson's disease. The Foundation will move aggressively to identify the most promising research and raise the funds to assure that a cure is found for the millions of people living with this disorder. The Foundation's web site, MichaelJFox.org, carries the latest pertinent information about Parkinson's disease, including: A detailed description of Parkinson's disease How you can help find the cure Public Services Announcements that are aired on network and cable television stations across the country to increase awareness Upcoming related Parkinson's disease events and meetings Updates on recent research and developments
