Book description
'At the turn from our bedroom into the hallway, there is an old
full-length mirror in a wooden frame ... This reflected version of
myself, shaking, rumpled, pinched and slightly stooped, would be
alarming were it not for the self-satisfied expression pasted across
my face. I would ask the obvious question, "What are you
smiling about?" but I already know the answer: "It just
gets better from here."'
Struck with Parkinson's - a debilitating, degenerative disease - at
the height of his fame, Michael J. Fox has taken what some might
consider cause for depression and turned it into a beacon of hope for
millions.
In Always Looking Up, Michael's Sunday Times
bestselling memoir, he writes with warmth, humour and incredible
honesty about the journey he has undertaken since he came to terms
with his condition.
Michael J. Fox is best known today for his hit Channel Four sitcom
Spin City
that he also produced. In the eighties he became an international
mega-star, first through TV shows such as
Family Ties
, then through the record-breaking
Back To The Future
movies. He launched the Michael J. Fox foundation for Parkinson's
Research in 2000, which has leapt to the forefront of the effort to find
a cure. He lives with his family in New York City.
