Dr. De León does it again, proving why she is the Parkinson's Diva extraordinaire. Written in her trademark flair, this book is packed with practicality and important information-and her delightful sense of humor is the cherry on top! Wilma Cordova, MSW Director and professor of school social work at SFA university
A Parkinson's diagnosis can feel like one's life has been brought to a screeching halt. De León's Elegance in Motion provides solace and comfort in light of these challenges. She vulnerably shares the story of her diagnosis interwoven loving and sometimes humorous portrayals of her life journey, offering context to the experience of Parkinson's disease. Vanessa Reiser, filmmaker
Reading Elegance in Motion connected me with my essence, my roots-who I am-as it represents all Latin women and how the love of family influences us throughout life. My parents have Parkinson's, and the process of receiving a diagnosis, accepting it, and moving forward can be quite a challenge. There are angels who are here to help us, to reaffirm our faith, and Maria De León is one of them. Adriana Jiminez, director of Give For a Smile (GFAS)
