What do you do when you're flabbergasted and don't know what to do? Well, I eat and write. Although I'm better at eating than writing, both help me understand and accept the experiences in my life. This book, in three parts, has served as a processing exercise for me. The first part is a short story that springs from a real moment years ago and turns into a bit of fantasy, helping me get through some of the challenges of having Parkinson's Disease. The second part is another short story that is autobiographical, excising a year in the life, helping me understand my relationship with a parent. The third part contains five poems that helped me deal with loss and stress. The author will donate half of every sale to The Parkinson Council, located in Philadelphia.
