Customer Reviews

Well done, Pauline Neck

This book is a must read for those suffering with a chronic illness. Pauline makes such a creamy smooth blend of part memoir and part self-help that you don't even know where one leaves off and the other begins. Written in everyday understandable terms, I found it very easy to read. She writes how her faith has opened many doors and paved the way to a happy and wholesome lifestyle. Surrounded by family and friends, she exudes warmth, courage and selflessness. I highly recommend this book "Removing The Sting".

A Proud Daughter

Being the daughter of such an incredible woman is not easily put into words. The pain that my mother has gone through has made her the wonderful woman she is today. After reading Removing The Sting, I have a new understanding of who my mother is, and what a wonderful story she has written. It is hard to understand Parkinson's but this book not only helps those with Parkinson's but the family dealing with this disease as well. I recomend this book to everyone, it will make you appreciate everything that you have in this life so much more. Thank you Mom for writing this book, I am very proud of you and always will be.

Soothe & Comfort

I devoured this book in one sitting and came away feeling refreshed and uplifted. I admit to being a bit biased as I know the author, Pauline Neck, personally as she is a member of my writing group, but feel I know her much better now. I think this book would be helpful to anyone familiar with not only Parkinson's disease, but any kind of discouraging medical diagnosis. Pauline's determined positivity is a real asset to coping with life, in whatever way it presents itself. Her decision to redeem adversity by encouraging others is inspirational.While the book chronicles Pauline's personal journey, it also includes a useful appendix of Parkinson's disease-related organizations. It would make a great gift for anyone with a similar diagnosis. Besides the appendix, the book is accented with photographs, prose and poetry, and inspirational text.A great first, Pauline. Let's hear some more.
