Description
"The irony of my mom losing her mind was not lost on me. The memories that mental illness had not already stolen from her across her anguished life now fade into the darkened catacombs of progressive dementia. On the drive home, I kept hearing the phrase repeated… “Your mother is losing her mind.” I decided to use this phrase and my mom’s long suffering as motivation for writing what I hope will ultimately be considered an inspirational memoir. I don’t have life all figured out, but I have learned a few things that might be able to help some people.
Although my story is more dramatic than most, every family experiences dysfunction--and every person can benefit from reconciling his or her family history. Childhood is the time when all that we can become... begins. It is the time when we’re supposed to be infused with the hope that we can succeed at anything. But sometimes circumstance gets in the way. Promises are broken. AN INHERITANCE OF PROMISE is a reminder that, sometimes, the most important promises… are the ones you make to yourself."
