REVIEWS

Mindy Uhrlaub’s powerful and inspiring memoir is a work of courageous transformation. She deepens her soul by turning her pain into power and ardently committing herself to the struggle against ALS for the legacy of her mother, for herself, and for all those suffering from the disease. We are grateful. 

 - V (formerly Eve Ensler) author of The Vagina Monologues and Reckoning

ABOUT LAST NERVE

Last Nerve begins as Mindy Uhrlaub learns that she carries the gene for the fatal neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Despite the incredible strain of this diagnosis and additional life challenges, Mindy manages to move forward with amazing tenderness, persistence, and love. Far from a depressing story of misfortune, Last Nerve is as uplifting and witty as it is raw and real. It’s a testament to hope, the endurance of family, and the resilience of the human spirit.
