The Book

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, delivers knock-out punches. And over the past twelve years, Robert Paulson, author of Not In Kansas Anymore: A Memoir of the Farm, New York City and Life with ALS has endured them all. A formerly active patent attorney, Paulson today can only blink and nod his head slightly. Unable to speak, dependent for life on a mechanical ventilator, tracheostomy and feeding tube, he has fought back with both dogged determination and good humor.
