The imaginative, hilarious, and moving memoir of a woman coping with multiple diseases.

At forty-three, Robyn Levy was diagnosed with ParkinsonOCOs disease and breast cancer. With irreverent and at times mordant humor, Levy chronicles her early, mysterious symptoms of Parkinson's (a dragging left foot, a frozen left hand, and a crash into ?downward dead dogOCO position), the devastating diagnosis, her discovery of two lumps in her breast, her mastectomy and oophorectomy, and her life since then dealing with her diverse disease portfolio.

Levy is accompanied on her journey by a fantastic cast of characters, including her Cry Lady (who always makes appearances at inopportune times) and perky Dolores the Prosthesis, as well as her loyal dog and a convoy of health professionals, family members, friends, and neighbors.

Both heartbreaking and hilarious, "Most of Me" offers a unique glimpse into a creative mind, an ailing body, and the restorative power of humor and fantasy.
