O knihe

Reflecting back on her college graduation in 2011, Dawn thought her life was finally coming together, that all of the hard work she put in working full-time, attending college, and being a parent was finally going to pay off. After all, she survived both physical and sexual child abuse by her father, was bullied by her peers throughout her early elementary and high school years, and, at age forty, was winning her battle with depression--so she could survive anything, she thought. Well, a few months after graduation, the life she thought she was going to have was about to come crashing down. A trip to the doctor, because of a few unusual symptoms, turned out that she had young-onset Parkinson's disease. Just when she thought she had survived the biggest hurdle of her life, life threw another curveball at her. In her story, she will take her readers back to the beginning, where it all started, up to her life now, living with Parkinson's. She hopes that by telling her story, it will inspire others not to give up. No matter how many times life knocks you down, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We all have a purpose. We just have to find out what it is. By the end of her book, you will find that through the storms, she has found her purpose. Twenty percent of the profits on the sale of this book will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation and the Parkinson's Foundation. Twenty percent will go to the foundation she established in April 2022 called Dawn's Hope Inc.
