Bøger af Gwen Head

Kit could see the outline of a man through the transparent curtain. He was rattling the doorknob and pushing on the door. That night had taught her how vulnerable and exposed she was.Then her friends told her about the Guardian Dog Academy outside of town, where she meets Debbie, a dog who gives her back her strength.This is a story about hope, the courage to pursue your dreams, and finding the purpose to take a leap of faith. Alongside Debbie and with a burgeoning romance with her long-time friend David, Kit learns that life is not about age or loss, but is about standing up for animals and people who have no voice, and about finding the power within yourself.

Just as Deb and her mother Estelle are learning how to mesh their individual lives together, nature’s destructive hand comes down, leaving them to wait for a new hope, and help from unexpected others.  In SURVIVING MOTHER Gwen Head has written a story of life struggles, tragedy, and getting one’s life back together to move forward. Written with the caregivers of the world in mind, Head takes the reader into a daughter’s and mother’s life struggles, doubts, and hardships as they deal with the emotional ups and downs of living with Alzheimer’s Disease. In SURVIVING MOTHER we can all find a little inspiration that, in the end, we can all overcome even the toughest obstacles. Excellent subject, timely and very well written. I would highly recommend it to all interested readers. ~ Shirley Lyles, former Mason, Texas Librarian and San Angelo Standard Times Newspaper columnist. Once I got to know the characters, I found I couldn’t put it down. It’s a pretty accurate depiction of what happens when your parent becomes your child. It is something none of us can prepare for. For a person like Deb, who has never had children, it can be overwhelming.  Ms. Head adeptly fleshes out her disparate characters, makes you fall in love with them, root for them, cry with them, and takes you on a journey that is profound. It is at times painful, funny, and completely fascinating. It begs a sequel. I cannot wait to read it.~ K. Michiel Cavuoti, Registered Nurse
