Elegance in Motion is more than a title-it's a way of life.

In her fourth book, Maria De León (a.k.a. the Parkinson's Diva) shares an extraordinary journey of perseverance, grace, and reinvention. From defying the odds to become a physician and movement disorder specialist to facing an unexpected Parkinson's diagnosis at the height of her career, Maria's story is one of resilience, transformation, and unwavering faith.

Balancing her roles as a doctor, patient, mother, and caregiver to her grandmother, she discovered that true strength isn't just about survival-it's about thriving with style and purpose. Through heartfelt, humorous, and deeply personal reflections, Maria invites readers into the defining moments that reshaped her life and mission.

With elegance, confidence, and an unshakable spirit, she empowers women with Parkinson's and other chronic illnesses to embrace life fully-facing challenges with poise, living boldly, and always holding steadfast to God's unchanging hand.
