Jumping to the Skies

“In this engaging book, Allan Cole, who writes with the soul of a poet mixed with that of a minister, offers a hopeful, pragmatic approach to living with Parkinson’s Disease. Ever the optimist, Allan faces up to ‘The Beast,’ acknowledging the downsides of living with the disorder while remaining upbeat and positive. Throughout this well-written work, we are offered up many clear-sighted observations on his successful approach to taking on Parkinson’s.”
