A Short Walk Home : One Family's Journey with ALD

A Short Walk Home : One Family's Journey with ALD By David Cry
2015 | 144 Pages | ISBN: 1578265673 | EPUB + MOBI | 1 MB


In this moving exploration of the affect illness can have on a life, and on the family and friends trying to support the sick person, David Cry examines his personal history of dealing with a terminal illness. David suffers from Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), a genetically determined neurological disorder that affects 1 in every 17,900 boys worldwide. Alternates between anecdotes from David Cry's personal history with the illness, and a loving, heartfelt account of helping his stepson Logan through his final months.
