SAMPLE 5-STAR AMAZON REVIEW

“What a great read!! I loved this book so much and the writing was beautiful. The book itself is a heavy topic but the writing keeps it light with humor. It was an easy, quick read that maintains your interest throughout.

As a 50 something mom, there was so much I could relate to. Well done Mindy Uhrlaub! I look forward to reading your next one and I applaud your commitment to your family and unrelenting drive to find a cure for ALS. You are an inspiration. Bravo!”

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.
