Have you ever read a great book and dreamed of talking to the author? Well I did just that! First through e-mail, then on the phone and now we’re even Facebook friends! Yes, I stalked her. Can you tell I’m a little smitten?
The Author: Yvonne deSousa.
The Book: MS Madness! A “Giggle More Cry Less” Story of Multiple Sclerosis
Nice story! That “In God we Trust” motto can also be seen in the movie “Christine” in the garage owner’s office.
That quote is a riot! I’ll have to check out that sign–great memory! Thanks Chadd!
Fri: The “In God we trust…” quote comes from the title of a great book by the late American humorist, Jean Shepherd. Published in 1966, it’s the source material for the movie, A Christmas Story.
Thank you Rick—I just learned something & I now must get Ms.Shepherd’s book!
Gina – I have known Yvonne and her family since she was in high school. Watching her take MS on full force with humor, grace, and faith has been amazing. And she is a very funny person in real life also. Thanks for writing about my friend.
Thank you for your feedback Irene! I discovered all those same things about Yvonne from her book and then from our discussions and e-mails. Some people just bring light to to others no matter what they’re up against and I think that describes Yvonne!
