A short while ago, Authorhouse published my book, Vignettes of Yvette at Vi. This new book contains additional vignettes of my wife, Yvette, who is in a Memory Support unit at the Care Center that is attached to a large retirement home, called Vi at Palo Alto. These vignettes are meant to demonstrate that a new life can be created for dementia sufferers -- a life that is interesting and enjoyable, contains much beauty, and presents challenges that can make this new life meaningful. Carmen, Marcela, the nursing staff, and I have worked hard and long to achieve these goals for Yvette, and we have had some measure of success. Carmen and I especially have absolutely not accepted "downhill all the way" for the beautiful woman we love so dearly.

Book Description
Authorhouse, in the past year, published three of my books about my wife, Yvette, who was in a memory support unit at a care center that is affiliated with a large, luxury retirement home named Vi at Palo Alto. Yvette was there, with dementia, for almost three years, until her death in December 2014. My previous three books about Yvette recorded how Carmen (her superb caregiver), I, and others gave her a new life that was interesting, challenging, full of beauty, and fashioned to keep her as healthy (mentally and physically) as our abilities and efforts allowed. This book continues our story by looking at the final six months of Yvette's life. It was during this period of terrible stress and duress that my wife displayed more courage, cheerfulness, and beauty than any of us believed possible. She even died in serenity and with beauty.

Book Description
This is a true story of how John felt and reacted to the decline of his wife, Yvette, into the quicksands of dementia. The story relates how he, Carmen (the companion to Yvette), and others struggled, sometimes against wise counsel, to prevent Yvette from sliding downhill mentally and physically. Their love for Yvette gave them the incentive and the energy to fight against the odds and to achieve some positive results. Really though, this is a love story of a husband for his wife together for sixty-nine years.

Book Description
Childfree, childless ... these are the labels society gives to women who do not bear children, due to choice or genetics. Being Fruitful without Multiplying started as one woman's quest to come to terms with her decision not to bear children. In conversation with Renee and Janice--two close relatives from different generations--Patricia found that they shared another, unexpected bond: each belonged to childless or childfree social networks. All three were weary of questions from well-meaning people who wondered why they had not born children. As they began to reach out to others in earnest, they found that many who belonged to their diverse online communities were eager to share their stories. Some had chosen to be childfree and some were childless because of biological factors but grew to appreciate the advantages. Some of those who chose not to reproduce still decided to become stepparents or adopt. Over sixty women and a few men added their voices to those of the three main authors. The result is this rich and varied anthology, which includes stories from many different countries, cultures and income groups. Gold Medal Winner (Women's Issues) in the 2014 Independent Publisher (IPPY) Book Awards.
