SUMMARY: In the book, “Mary & Me,” author Robyn Cotton draws upon her own experiences with Parkinson’s in a fictional novel based in contemporary times and early 1800’s London, England when Dr. James Parkinson was roaming the streets and noticing a condition, he called shaky palsy. Not often does Parkinson’s play such a key role in a fictional piece of work, Robyn’s journey grounds the book in near-real experiences as she and her characters struggle with the degenerative brain disease. EMAIL Larry and Rebecca: <a href="mailto:ParkinsonsPod@curiouscast.ca">ParkinsonsPod@curiouscast.ca</a>Have questions, comments, or a story idea?
