Faces of Huntington's
"Faces of Huntington'sis a unique and evocative collection of writings, which illuminates the many facets of Huntington's Disease (HD). At once tragic, uplifting,frightening, and inspiring, Faces of Huntington's, is a wonderful book which deserves a wide audience." --Rod Morrison, Executive Director, Huntington Society of Canada"In these pages, Carmen has captured the indomitable human spirit.Faces of Huntington'sis a must read whether you are in a family affected by HD, a medical professional, or simply, someone who cares." --Jim Pollard, Executive Director, Mediplex Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Center of Lowell"In this remarkable book, Carmen Leal-Pock has put together the pieces of the true story of Huntington's Disease - the story as told by people with HD, their children, and their spouses and caregivers. Perhaps because of this book, others with or at-risk for HD will be brave enough to speak, doctors will be more sensitive to the broad effects of HD on patients and their families, and we will all remember that while there are no "right" or "absolute" answers to the problems posed by HD, by sharing in the search we can become stronger, wiser, and more humane people." --Martha A.
