Author Begins Book Tour at Chicago Heights Library

The love of a mother is one of the strongest bonds in a lifetime. No tragedy or illness can break that bond.

Chicago area resident, Patricia M. McClure takes an Alzheimer’s experience of her mother and brings you through in written words a caregiver’s perspective.

Local Author Patricia M McClure is holding a book signing for “Losing a Hero to Alzheimer’s The Story of Pearl.” The book is a compelling story about the life of her mother who was afflicted with Alzheimer’s.

McClure will begin her book tour at the Chicago Heights Public library on Saturday February 27th from noon to 3PM. The library is located at 25 W. 15th Street in Chicago Heights.

McClure will discuss how the family system was impacted which resulted in conflict, turmoil and estranged relationships.

“My mom was my role model and hero,” McClure says. “I watched my hero fall prey to the grueling stages of Alzheimer’s. This book will allow the reader to garner some practical standpoints from a family member’s perspective.”

McClure’s story shows how the family system is impacted when a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. From personal experience, she says family members must come together selflessly, patiently and lovingly to care for the needs of the individual, regardless of the family dynamic or any societal issues that may challenge their resolve.

McClure will have another book signing at the Steger-South Chicago Heights Public Library on March 5th from noon-3 PM. The library is located at 54 E. 31rst Street in Steger.

There will be FREE refreshments. Books will be available for purchase for a nominal fee.
