Local Author Parkinson's Dreams About Me by Rick Hermann
available now, paperback, self-published
"It is unusual to find a book written from the point of view of someone afflicted with a degenerative disease, such as Parkinson's. It is more unusual to find a well-written story about how it feels to be inside a disease that erodes all physical and emotional sense of self. What is phenomenally rare is to find such an honest, eloquent, and beautifully expressed self-examination of one's life. It takes courage just to live within our 'normal' limitations, and living with Parkinson's takes immeasurable stamina. But the biggest measure of courage is Rick's willingness to be deliberately conscious and unflinchingly honest about his innermost self. This is a self-published book, and Rick is graciously allowing us to carry it. We feel honored to be able to provide this small measure of support to a local author and valued neighbor." —Jonica
