Mary and Me

A novel, based on personal experience.

Mary lives with Parkinson's disease in the early nineteenth century. Rose has it in the twenty-first century. Separated by two hundred years their experiences are vastly different, reflecting the change in attitudes and understanding.

Rose's fictional story is inspired by the author's own experience of living with Parkinson's. It is deeply personal and honest and will take you on an emotional rollercoaster, from the shock of diagnosis to hope and resilience.

This journey illustrates the importance of responding positively to a life with a debilitating disease.

Mary and Me provides a novel approach to unpacking Parkinson's and the mix of emotions that may accompany it.
