Overview

DANCING AT THE RIVER’S EDGE is a unique dual memoir by Alida Brill, author, social activist, and critic, who has endured an incurable illness throughout most of her life, and her doctor, Michael D. Lockshin, M.D., a leading expert on autoimmune diseases in women, who has treated Ms. Brill for over thirty years. Both authors offer a powerful and inspirational testimony from either side of the examination table that speaks directly and honestly to those who deal with being on the “other planet” that is the reality of the chronically ill, as well as those who care for and give care to the millions of people struggling day to day with this condition.
