Afterglow

<p>How would you react if in the midst of a heated argument your daughter ran out of the room and stabbed herself three times in the stomach with a Bowie knife? This is what happened to me…but wait…there is more.</p><p>Afterglow is my story a mother’s story. It begins at the funeral of my youngest child Melanie. Page by page I share the story of my early development leading up to adulthood and two unsuccessful marriages. As my children grow I learn that both my daughters have a genetic disorder called Ataxia. All during those volatile years I yearn for a foundation of stability for myself and my children. The Fates led me to spend a significant amount of time with a Seneca Elder who taught me many lessons about life. At the time I didn’t realize how significant these lessons would prove to be.</p>
