Review
"When the airplane is shaking, when the diagnosis is pending, and when the night is full of terrors, we all need a friend to remind us of what is truly essential. Jim McTevia is that friend whose story snaps all your fears into perspective. Read his story, take a deep breath and know that all will be well." -- Father Matt Pennington "Nativity of Our Lady Catholic Community, San Luis Obispo, California."
"As a fellow member of this exclusive (but not exclusive enough) club of victims of inclusion body myositis, Jim McTevia has captured the journey and done so in his witty writing style." -- Jim Mathews, R.Ph., M.S.A., "Vice-Chairman, Board of Directors, the Myositis Association."
"Eckhart Tolle's book The Power of Now teaches that 'living in the NOW' is the secret to living fully. In One-Eyed Kings, Jim McTevia shares his journey in discovering how vital this really is." -- Mark Walker "Chairman of the Board, Michigan Mutual Inc."
From the Inside Flap
One-Eyed Kings informs, inspires, and even entertains while frankly and nimbly recounting the author's confrontation with an unexpected, incurable foe. His rare disease does not reveal itself with the quick body punch of a heart attack. It creeps up slowly, renders legs unsteady and fingers ever less functional. When diagnosed, inclusion body myositis guarantees a years-long decline in mobility. Falling becomes the dreaded enemy. James V. McTevia makes peace with IBM, as its victims call the disease; but he wryly sums up human nature in the chapter heading: "I'd Rather Not Have Inclusion Body Myositis." Have it he does, however, and his one-day-at-a-time philosophy translates to credible, well-spun advice for readers facing any adversity"€"medical, financial, or spiritual. After a long career as a renowned problem-solver in the business world, the author found a problem he could do nothing about. It was his own problem, revealed when he discovered he could not fasten the top button of his shirt. One-Eyed Kings is a riveting reminder of perils lurking in ordinary life for all of us, and the inner will we must harness to address them. An afterword by Dr. Tom Lloyd, co-director of the Johns-Hopkins Myositis Center, provides a concise scientific overview and discusses prospects for new drugs that will help those stricken by inclusion body myositis, including 20,000 Americans.
