Kathryn interviews Elda M. Dawber LICSW, author of “Wait Until I’m Dead! A Novel of Family Secrets”. Surviving family horror is one thing. Having the courage to reveal it is another. Dawber introduces readers to D.J. Brava, a writer of bestselling romance novels who is now writing a memoir of child abuse and recovery. While the draft manuscript panics her editor, her family's response is to unravel revealing long-held secrets. Dawber is the recipient of the NASW-RI Chapter Lifetime Achievement Award. Kathryn also interviews psychologist Constance L. Vincent PhD, author of “Not Going Gently: A Psychologist Fights Back again Alzheimer’s for Her Mother…and Perhaps Herself”. In this poignant mother-daughter memoir, Dr. Vincent shares her mother's experience living with Alzheimer's as well as her own perspective, both as a psychologist and a potential victim of the disease. She includes specific advice on the newest ideas in nutrition and lifestyle which she follows to prevent Alzheimer's.
