À propos de cet audio
Morton Kondracke never intended to wed Millicent Martinez, but the fiery daughter of a radical labor organizer eventually captured his heart. They married, raised two daughters, and loved and fought passionately for 20 years. Then, in 1987, Milly noticed a glitch in her handwriting, a small tremor that would lead to the shattering diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease.
Saving Milly is Kondracke’s powerfully moving chronicle of his vital and volatile marriage, one that has endured and deepened in the face of tragedy; it also follows his own transformation from careerist to caregiver and activist, a man who will “fight all the way, without pause or rest, to ‘save’ his beloved Milly.” (Linda Bowles, The Washington Times)

"A deeply personal and bracingly honest account." (Publishers Weekly)
"This book is a love letter, an involving story of the devastating impact of Parkinson's, and a polemic demanding a substantial increase in federal funds for medical research." (Booklist)
