The inspiring Chronicle of a Fortune Foretold from Luis Aguilar is now available on book!

Over the past months, the Moving Forward project has been disseminating the chronicles of Luis about the tears and cheers of being at risk of Huntington’s Disease.

Luis has kindly allowed us to dive into his childhood and adolescence memories, to experience his innermost emotions, to follow his thoughts and resolutions, and to feel we are part of his family.

Now, Luis’ unique chronicles related to Huntington’s Disease have been compiled in a bilingual edition (Spanish and English) with the wonderful illustrations of Paloma Agüera. The book has 5 original and exclusive chapters and illustrations you will not want to miss.

"How tough, how brave and how beautiful. You have an incredible talent for writing. Thank you for this book and for your bravery in expressing everything. I loved it."

"Luis, I loved the book and I certainly found myself in many passages. I am impressed by your ability to convey feelings and emotions. You give form to fear, it almost feels like something physical, that you can see and touch. I think that with this "Chronicle" you have made a chant of hope and life. And I get shivers down my spine when I see how you undress, how you take everything out, even what you regret. Impressive, Luis."

"You have to be very brave to write a book like this. And very well written too! I'm sure you are an inspiration for more people... Thank you for sharing it with the world."

"I'm blown away by your sincerity and closeness in your writing, it's brutal! I've never read anything that makes you put yourself in the shoes of someone going through something so radical in life. It's made me open my mind to so many things, just spectacular, I'm loving it!"

"Luis! Your work is absolutely amazing. It hit me so hard when I first read it, and I’ve been reading it again and again and again. I cried like a baby and it broke my heart, but my heart is already broken."
