In his third memoir, Michael J. Fox shares personal stories and observations about his Parkinson's disease, aging, the strength of family and friends, and how our perceptions about time affect the way we approach mortality.
What The Reviewers Say
Michael J. Fox reminds us that hope is an exercise and a discipline, not just a feeling or even a state of mind.
Fox makes it through all this with both light humor and deep introspection: The entire book is well woven in a rich tragicomic tapestry. We make it through all the obstacles only for the book to be most heartbreakingly tagged with what will likely be a standard of 2020 memoirs: The epilogue that addresses the fact that the book launched amid one of human history’s greatest afflictions to date — our pandemic — and that we, just like Fox, are still struggling to see a way out.
... bracingly honest.
Fox writes beautifully, with humor and the self-deprecation that defined his on-screen persona.
