What truly matters is the influence my life, or death, will have on the lives of others.

Mariam, My Little Black Fish, is a journey from an unlikely love found, to a joyful marriage, to the devastating diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. A combination memoir, love story, medical journal, historical account, and micro-treatise on American foreign policy, this is a story for those who suffer from Parkinson’s and for those who love them.
From a self-proclaimed West Virginia hillbilly with a myopic worldview, to a devoted husband and caregiver, Russell Crow becomes an unwavering activist, fighting relentlessly to save his wife, Mariam, and becoming an advocate for the abandoned.

With a blend of humor and passion, the author grapples with the heartlessness of this chronic and debilitating illness, taking the reader through the degenerative symptoms of the disease, the juggling of medications and their side effects, the impact on family relationships, the harrowing effects of U.S. sanctions, and about Iran, a country unalterably changed by the United States.

Realistic and enlightening, this book provides stories and advice from someone who has experienced life’s heartbreaks, embracing it with determination and courage.

Prepare yourself for a story that will tug at your heartstrings, with its mix of profound sadness, uplifting inspiration, and unexpected humor.
