I just received a copy of the Midwest Book Review for May about my book,

Behind The Mask. It states:

“True stories are the best stories. They teach us what people can go through, how they can endure, and most especially, how they can triumph in the end–one way or another. “Behind The Mask” is the story of a woman whose husband was misdiagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. It’s the story of how Helene Moore’s personal world was shattered, how she felt helpless and hopeless with the sudden prospect of watching the man she loved being given a prognosis of slow, inevitable death that would stead his mind long before it would result in his death. It is also the story of her finding the strengh to cope, to survive, to perceive and enjoy the small pleasantries of life, family, and friends. “Behind The Mask” is drawn from her journal entries and provides a compeling account of her struggle back to normalcy and her renewed appreciation for what life and love can make of even the most ordinary of marriages undergoing the most extraordinary of challenges. Superbly written from beginning to end, “Behind The Mask” is as inspired and inspiring as it is informed and informative, making it highly recommended reading for anyone finding themselves or a loved one in similar circumstance.”
