Caught in the ((Balancing)) Act: A Memoir (2026)
An only somewhat embellished, grimace-inducing, cringe-worthy, not-for-the-faint-of-heart, mildly warped, and definitely unbalanced collection of anecdotes about navigating old age (and the medical community) with a disability.
Praise for Caught in the ((Balancing)) Act
I "Laughed and cried. Her strength and courage is remarkable. "
"This memoir is a thought provoking, humorous ride through the author's tremulous journey of one medical diagnosis, treatment, decision after another. It is hard to put down as you continue to wish for positive outcomes to accompany her positive attitude. This should be read by medical professionals as well as anyone with a caring heart."
"Full of truths!!!"
"I recommend it to every lover of memoirs."
"...refreshing and deeply necessary."
"...doesn't just chronicle a medical journey; it celebrates the resilience of a "cantankerous but comical" spirit."
