Synopsis: From the book: "Deeply affecting . . . Unforgettable . . . Kondracke seems to be a natural truth-teller, and the directness of his narrative, its demotic lack of interest in irony when confronted with the rudimentary facts of mortal illness, opens his reader's heart and engages his reader's mind." -The New Republic "This is Morton Kondracke's account of his wife's battle with Parkinson's disease and his own transformation from a self-described careerist with more drive than talent to a mensch who has achieved greatness in this one book alone. I finished it last night in tears." -RICHARD COHEN, The Washington Post "Morton's love for Milly has been unfailingly strong and steadfast ... in sickness and in health. His fierce devotion has inspired him to move mountains, and move scientists closer than ever to finding a cure for this cruel disease. We all must join together to fight for more money so we can save our most precious resource-the lives of those we love." -KATIE COURIC
