The Parkinson Princess woke up that morning with a pounding headache. Massaging her temples, she recited her favourite morning mantra: “Some days I feel like a flower, I like those days the most, Some days I start to sour and feel like the compost.” She suspected this was going to be one of those days.

Hi Robyn,
I thoroughly enjoyed your book, “Most of Me.” I have been looking at your daughter’s photos in your father’s office for years & I didn’t see how much she looks like him until the book signing on King Street. They were sitting side by side & their profiles were identical. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me.
