fatal fall. This was followed by an out-of-body experience, life after death, in which she heard the words, "It's not your time." When the two nerves fused together, MaryAnne was left in unrelenting, excruciating pain. Being the mother of a young son and married to a philandering brute of a husband when the accident occurred, the family disallowed the use of any medicine because it was against their religion. After fourteen years of agony, doctors were finally able to perform a unique surgery known as intraspinal rhizotomy. This story weaves together the idea of family and faith, while also creating a sense of longing in the reader's own life for something bigger than themselves. Mommy's Writings is the extraordinary memoir of the love between a mother and her young son, and a great-grandmother whose intense devotion to the two of them kept their little family together. It is a story of faith in God, of forgiveness and acceptance, and of gratitude. When defining who she is, Suzanne McMillen-Fallon writes, "Mother of Chad C. McMillen and author." In her younger years, she was an artist. After the 1983 surgery, she is a published writer of poetry and prose, and co-authored the book Shadows of Yesterday with her late second husband, Gene Fallon. Her next book, Parallax Crossroads: Finding My Way continues the Mommy Writings Series. The author's son Chad C. McMillen is shown at nearly five years of age. As an adult, he is a PMI Project Management professional. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/SuzanneMcMillenFallon
