Looking Back at Bob

Acquiring an illness is an unfortunate thing, especially when it’s one that has always been stigmatized by society. In Dr. Rosalie Contino’s novel, “As Life Goes On: Lessons One Doesn’t Want to Have to Learn,” readers get to take part in the delightful memories between a sister and her brother with a mental disorder.

With both their parents gone, Rosalie committed to her promise of looking after Bob, who just retired, and whose schizophrenia declined. Rosalie learned to forge a bond with the brother she once treated almost like a stranger. This memoir is a tribute to Bob, as well as a reminder for anyone about the loving and irreplaceable connection siblings ought to cherish.

“What a sweet piece of reading. I was moved by the moments the siblings shared, at the same time inspired to be kinder to my own and cherish our times together because we never how long they will last,” stated a contented reader.

With plenty of heartfelt moments, the story of Bob will move many.
