A Fork in the Road is a story of chronic illness, fortitude, faith and our nation. it is the autobiography of a 53-year old man, Craig Brown, who has battled a rare auto-immune disease called Behcet's Syndrome since 1979. Doctors were able to delay the onset of blindness by a dozen years which allowed Brown to finish law school and graduate school, complete his substantive legal training and as he became blind, to become a District Court judge in North Carolina. The book also chronicles Brown's initial denial and ultimate adjustment to, blindness. The book also deals with the life-threatening aspect of Behcet's then broadens widely to discuss the many train wrecks of others that Brown heard as a District Court judge. These train wrecks include the death of your parents, loss of employment, and divorce, among other things. Ultimately, in its final chapters, the book discussed the impact of our growing national debt upon the country and the major fork in the road that it represents. The book concludes with voluntary suggestions for reducing the national debt and, ultimately, with a love story in its final chapter called Hope.
