The love story imparts a powerful message, while acting as a real-life vehicle for vital Essential Tremor awareness. While the protagonist in \u2018A Faded Cottage\u2019 may appear to have a unique story, his battle with Essential Tremor (causing rhythmic trembling of the hands, head, voice, legs, or trunk) is shared with over 10 million Americans and millions more worldwide. The book is a stark reminder of the prevalence of this often ignored disorder.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018A Faded Cottage\u2019 is a South Carolina love story about a man with Essential Tremor.<br \/>\nWhen a love letter written by a teenage boy becomes lost after a summer filled with passion, it brings about an incredible love story of two people being reunited, after thirty years.<\/p>\n<p>When Essential Tremors take over a famous artist\u2019s body, a simple feat of holding a paintbrush turns Quaid Witherspoon\u2019s life upside down, becoming a bitter man. This is his journal of how he battles fate, not of his entire life, but of two weeks. Quaid had everything money could buy, except the two things he loved the most, his love of painting great masterpieces, and the only woman he had ever loved. The calming waters off the coast of South Carolina calls Quaid back to Hathaway Cove, to a small, faded cottage, one with a leaning front porch, worn paint so similar to him, flawed. The same beach where he began painting as a young boy, the place he met his one true love, and the place he let her go.<\/p>\n<p>Sandy, Quaid\u2019s love from his past, learns he is wondering about her, just as she is wondering about him. Their love is alive, meeting for the first time in thirty years, letting the years fade away, but fate has another twist. Sandy keeps a secret, letting them have their two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>What if you were able to relive your life and rediscover you teenage love\u2026 Would you?<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.diannshaddox.com\">www.diannshaddox.com<\/a>\u00a0 &amp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diannshaddoxfoundation.org\">www.diannshaddoxfoundation.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018A Faded Cottage\u2019 fuses fact with fiction to depict a compelling love story, based around an artist suffering from Essential Tremor.
