'Through a brother's eyes' is an intimate diary capturing the daily realities of living with Huntington's disease.

David McDonagh watched his brother, Stephen, bravely battle Huntington's disease. Stephen was kept in a mental hospital, and David, as a way to document his illness and the emotional toll it had on their family, kept a diary. David never intended for the diary to be published.

Over the years, David's wife had been putting money aside. She wanted to get the memoirs published in Stephen's memory and to help support people affected by Huntington's disease.

My wife, Jackie has a habit of saving for things, and every night for years and years she put a £1 coin on the bedside table. I used to see it there but never questioned it. She is good at saving small amounts to help people. Not long ago Jackie told me she had been saving for over 15 years £1 a day to get the diary published she had nearly £6,000 and was determined to get it done.

The book is raw, honest and deeply intimate but captures the daily reality and struggles of Stephen's life living with a terminal illness. It is more than just a record of one man’s illness, this is a story of family, grief, unbreakable bonds, and the small moments that make a life truly meaningful. It’s a tribute to a man who faced Huntington's disease with dignity, and to the loved ones who stood beside him.

If you are looking for a memoir that speaks to the heart of caregiving, the pain of loss, and the power of remembrance, 'Through a brother's eyes' will stay with you long after the final page.
