Summary: Green Vanilla Tea is a story of compassion and courage in the face of a deadly and little understood illness. Above all, it is a love story. Marie Williams watches helplessly as an undiagnosable condition debilitates her husband, Dominic, in both body and mind. As the condition develops, the normally devoted family man and loving partner seems to disappear beneath an expressionless face and a relentless desire to walk and walk and walk at all hours of the day and night. In a compelling story that spans both joy and sadness, Marie Williams writes about the bonds in her family, her sons' love for their father, the spirit that sustains them all during the most testing of experiences and about the struggle they faced in dealing with the inexplicable.
