Walking Through Honey
My Journey with Parkinson’s Disease
“It’s morning and the night has passed. Inch by inch, centimetre by centimetre, my life force, my self, is being eroded and then, presto, the heavy veil covering my face slowly lifts. I know that I am slowly disappearing. The Brian Sherman you all once knew will be no more…”
The Lives of Brian
Entrepreneur Philanthropist Animal Activist
1943: shopkeeper’s son Brian Sherman is born into a tight-knit Jewish community in a small South African mining outpost. The Holocaust is raging in Europe and the apartheid regime is at its height. In 1976, with only $5,000 to his name, he moves to Australia with his young family to start a new life. Nothing can prepare Brian for his meteoric rise or for the life-changing tests he will face – his own health challenges, a lifelong accumulation of unexplored grief. He will be tested to the limits of his being.
