Bouncing Back and Moving Forward
A True Story of One Woman’s Struggle to Survive
What does it take to survive the unthinkable—and then rise?
From the shadows of childhood sexual abuse to the daily challenges of living with Parkinson’s disease, Bouncing Back and Moving Forward is the raw, unfiltered memoir of one woman’s journey through trauma, silence, and ultimately, transcendence.
With honesty, courage, and surprising warmth, the author recounts her lifelong battle to reclaim her voice—from confronting the individuals who stole her innocence, to participate in a clinical trial and undergo a deep brain surgical treatment for people with advanced Parkinsons disease, that gave her a second chance at life. Along the way, she offers readers more than just a personal story: she offers a path through pain and into power.
This memoir is a vital resource for survivors of abuse, individuals and families living with Parkinson’s, and the therapists and healers walking beside them. It’s a story of grit, grace, and the fierce belief that healing is possible at every stage of life.
