Book Description

With lightness and warmth, musician Nick van Bloss recounts his personal experience of Tourette's syndromeâ€”symptoms, or tics, that include obsessive physical movements andÂ involuntary utterances and sounds. He traces the embarrassment that came with his tics, hisÂ refuge inÂ piano playing, and his family history of the disease. With frankness and humor, he also describes coming to terms with his sexuality, finding true love, and battling a potentially terminal cancer while continuing toÂ handle his socially debilitating condition of Tourette's syndrome.
