Alzheimer's Story, Meet The Author on Sunday

A Mother’s love rarely fails. A daughter’s love is just as strong. The bond between them has been the backdrop of movies such as Steel Magnolias. Sally Field portrays the mother and caretaker to a daughter who suffers from severe diabetes.

Turn the tables. In a new book just released, Losing A Hero to Alzheimer’s, The story of Pearl, author Patricia M. McClure takes you through a daughter’s relationship with her mother suffering from Alzheimer’s.

“I would liken our relationship to an onion peel,” said McClure. “It had so many layers. We started off as Mother and Daughter and I respected and admired her. As I grew older our relationship evolved to a friendship. She was my "bestie", McClure added.

Patricia M. McClure will be in Minnesota, promoting her book, Losing A Hero to Alzheimer’s, The Story of Pearl.

She will be signing and discussing her book at the Barnes & Noble at HarMar Mall located at 2100 Snelling Ave. N in Roseville Minnesota. Book Signing is at 2 p.m. Sunday April 10th.

“She was strong, spiritual and wise,” McClure said. “I know no one is perfect but my mom was perfect in my eyes. She never had a bad thing to say about anyone. She was very kind, generous and full of life,” she added.

With Mother’s day coming up in a few weeks, McClure’s book would be a perfect gift for a mother and daughter.

“You know I feel I am very fortunate,” McClure said. “When I think about my mom I have nothing but pleasant thoughts. My mom was a good to me and she was an awesome person and mother. I have never met person who did not like my mom,”.

“Over the years my mom and I celebrated Mother's day by going out to dinner. We also went to plays and concerts over the years. My mom loved music so a few times we also went to some jazz super clubs when I got older. That was very special to me,” added McClure.

Come out on Sunday, April 10th to Barnes and Noble at HarMar Mall and introduce your mom to the author.

“Life is very short and it's important for people to treasure every moment that they have with their mom and not take them for granted, McClure said. “For those individuals who felt that their mom could have done more or been a better mom...it's important to thank God for the mom that you have and recognize that their mom has helped to mold them to be the person that they are today,”

“Children should take time out to spend with their mom because in the end all they will have is memories to help sustain them when God calls them home,” McClure added.
