Lucien Bracquemont of Maine is a 60-year-old workingclass individual with Asperger’s Syndrome (on the autistic spectrum) who has survived not only emotional and mental abuse and disabilities but cancer at age 41 as well.

He credits his girlfriend, Katherine, of nineteen years as well as other significant factors for his surviving and thriving. Bracquemont is a survivor, not a victim.

Myers and her husband live near Washington, D.C.
“For the first time, I looked back at the shooting event as an event that happened to more people than just me and my friends who were killed. This time, from outside my cocoon, I looked at the damage caused to the lives of everyone else, and not just me. I felt like I finally opened my eyes for the first time since I’d closed them to focus on the sounds of the shots when I was locating the shooter for the 911 operator. I observed how people responded differently to everyday occurrences now. They’d changed, just as I had.” -Laurel Myers, author

If Not for the Love of Mother: A Tribute
By Sheila Kaye
This book is a tribute to a Mother/Woman who was instrumental in the development of many lives. She shared herself with her family, friends, church family, and strangers that she met. She was always welcoming. She was always giving. She was called by many as “Mama Gordon”! She possessed a loving and determined spirit. People gravitated to her. She embraced them.
I wrote this book to try and capture how much she meant to me and those she knew and loved. She left a void which is now filled with memories that will last forever. I pray to continue to grow and share her love.
