In September 1998 Michael J. Fox stunned the world by announcing that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease
- in fact he had been secretly fighting it for seven years. In this candid book with his trademark ironic sensibility & sense of the absurd he tells his life story
- from his childhood in western Canada to his meteoric rise in film & television & most importantly the years in which
- with the unswerving support of his wife family & friends
- he has dealt with his illness. He talks about what Parkinson's has given him: the chance to appreciate a wonderful life & career & the opportunity to help search for a cure & spread public awareness of the disease. He feels as if he is a very lucky man indeed.
