When the Course of True Love Is Derailed by Disease

"Saving Milly" is a romance (written by Jeff Arch, whose story about the inevitability of true love was the basis of Nora Ephron's "Sleepless in Seattle"), but it is also overtly political. The Kondrackes are outraged to learn how little money is going toward Parkinson's research, and a character suggests that what the disease needs is a celebrity patient. It gets exactly that, of course, when the actor Michael J. Fox announces in November 1998 that he has Parkinson's.
