Within the pages of Patricia
Mary Mayer’s book, Finding Rita
($21.49, paperback, 9781545640784; $9.99, ebook, 9781545640791), readers
will join the author on her heartbreaking journey of her mother’s battle with
Alzheimer’s disease.
Finding Rita is a daughter’s experience with her mother as
she faces emotional issues of anger and alcoholism and ultimately succumbs to
Alzheimer’s. It demonstrates the struggle everyone affected by this tragic
disease endures.
Many readers
will agree Finding Rita is relatable
because it contains Mayer’s experiences more than just the anguish Alzheimer’s
brings to loved ones, as she has woven comedy, tragedy, and challenges into the
story.
“More
and more people are affected by the three A's: anger, alcoholism, and
Alzheimer's disease,” says Mayer. “These should not be kept secret. Sharing
with someone else may help them become aware that they are not alone, and
provide some comfort.”
Patricia Mary Mayer was born and raised in New York City.
Writing became her comfort zone as a child and she kept it mostly secret until
she was in her thirties, as it was her way of escaping.
