 From “being gagged, bound, and crammed” in her car trunk, to being raped and brutalized, traveling the rough road of PTSD and the justice system, and finally transcending all these to tell her story, Michelle Corrao merits every reader’s deep and abiding respect and empathy. In “Found, Triumph over Fear with Grace and Gratitude, The Michelle Corrao Story”, Michelle simply and compellingly describes the interventions which helped her journey from being a “victim” to transcending her trauma, and emerging as a “survivor”. This book illustrates the power of the human spirit to rise above tragedy, supported by divine grace and strength, and appropriate professional strategies. If you are drowning in an abyss of trauma-induced terror and need to come up for air, this is the book for you. If you are a helping, law enforcement, or legal professional, parent, spouse, sibling or friend of a person victimized by crime or any trauma, this book spells out what you “must avoid” and what you absolutely “must do” to enable your loved one to re-enter “life.”  If you are paralyzed by fear for any reason, and want to taste freedom, learn from the wisdom that led Michelle Corrao out of hell into the heaven of empowerment.

Brightside Book Review By Ramona Kar

What does one do when handed a diagnosis to a disease that one knows nothing about? Where does one begin? Nowhere are these questions more skillfully answered than in Ann S. Woodbury’s empowering narrative, Surviving Myotonic Dystrophy, A Mother’s Struggle to Care for Her Family with a Rare Disease. The author comprehensively describes the systemic impact of a mystifying disease on every facet of her life, and that of each of her four children and husband, all five of whom are diagnosed with DM. Ms. Woodbury’s resilience, persistence, positivity and sensitivity to each of her family member’s unique needs provide a road map for other parents dealing with multiple physical, mental and emotional struggles in their families. The book is rich with tried and tested innovative ideas, and useful reference information for individuals diagnosed with progressive illnesses like DM, as well as caregivers, medical professionals, and support groups.
