My mother is a published author!
My mother started dealing with chronic illness (mostly pain issues) several years ago through writing poetry. Most of it is religious in nature, but a lot has been to sort of document different events in her life. At some point, she got connected with Christian publishers, and they asked her to compile her work into a book!
It's a bit weird.... poems about me and the rest of my family for sale at Barnes&Noble and Amazon, but I'm really proud of her.
On a funny note, she just "cemented" Amelia's middle name. I have told her repeatedly that it wasn't decided, but there it is... in the book.

Re: My mother is a published author!
I'm doubt it will make her a lot of money, because I'm not sure who will buy it (especially since she got copies for her family and friends).
But I think it was awfully therapeutic for her and also empowering for a woman who desperately needs to feel some control over her life.
It's about 1/2 God-specific and 1/2 life-specific. The life ones are more goofy and funny than helpful for anyone else. But for each poem she researched a Biblical passage that inspires it in a way.
And about Amelia's middle name.... it would be even more funny if SHE turns out to be a HE. It's been known to happen!
