Brooklyn White is the author of two books. The first book, Sunsets and Silver Linings, Caring for Parents with Parkinson's and Lewy Body Dementia was published in 2021 and intended to support adult children engaging and caring for their parents with these neurological conditions. Brooklyn's most recent book is called Navigating Parkinson's: Mind, Body and Spirit - a Journey of Faith. While this book also provides a great roadmap for care - it is also meant to provide those diagnosed and living with Parkinson's, as well as care partners with a roadmap for discernment, balancing realism with optimism for the condition, and motivating with hope and encouragement. Both books share the journeys of her grandmother and father who lived with Parkinson's for many years.
NAVIGATING PARKINSON'S: MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT
-A JOURNEY OF FAITH-
The author has masterfully compiled evidence based medical information with spiritual encouragement, creating a truly holistic approach to navigating Parkinson's care. The structured progression from diagnosis through advanced care needs, combined with practical worksheets and resource lists, makes this a valuable reference guide. While written from a Christian perspective, this resource is fantastic for believers and non-believers alike. The goal is to educate and inform, empower discernment and choice, while also providing encouragement and optimism from the Word of God.

There can be a season in our life when the magnificent beauty of sunsets become feared and we spend our days seeking silver linings.

While there is a plethora of research now available online for these neurodegenerative diseases that are becoming a more common household name thanks to celebrities like Michael J. Fox and Robin Williams, it can still be hard to discern exactly what our own journey will be like caring for someone with either of these conditions. This book is about engaging with our loved ones as they go on this journey. It's also a story of deep faith, love and how to look for the beauty of sunsets through the silver linings.
