Shaking Parkinson’s is the story of Joyce Saunders, a musician who refuses to accept her Parkinson’s diagnosis and tries to hide her illness from friends and family. Local author and retired teacher Eleanor Johnston drew on her own experience with Parkinson’s disease to write this novel, which explores the challenges of learning to live with the complex neurodegenerative disease. Please join us as Eleanor reads from her book and discusses how patients and caregivers can adapt to the difficulties and uncertainty of living with Parkinson's.
