Legwork

About the Book

Legwork is the immensely moving story of award-winning TV investigative consumer journalist Ellen Burstein MacFarlane’s battle with Multiple Sclerosis and her crusade to help others like herself seduced by a doctor’s false promises. Her experience with this doctor, who eventually loses his license, turns out to be the most important consumer story of her life, and she brings to the chase in a wheelchair and triplegic—her reportorial gift and brave heart. Co-written with Ellen’s twin sister, Legwork includes essays by other family members touched by Ellen’s illness and inspired by her goodness and wisdom.
