Mary Kay Verhoff’s Heartwarming Testimony as Caregiver and Wife to a Husband with Dementia Now Set for World Stage at FIBF
The Frankfurt Book Fair is one of the largest book fairs in the world. A good portion of its size comes from the exhibited works of hundreds of independent and self-published authors who simply found the courage to share their stories. In the case of Mary Kay Verhoff, it’s a very touching, emotional as well as vivid story of what it means to be both wife and eventual caregiver to a spouse diagnosed with dementia. Her book, “Just Breathe,” is all set to exhibit at this year’s fair.
“This book is beautifully written and Mary Kay shares the honest and heart wrenching truth of taking care of a loved one with dementia. This book is a must read for families and caregivers of loved ones with dementia.” – Amazon review by Jane C. Selhorst
The Frankfurt Book Fair, also known as Frankfurter Buchmesse, is both one of the world’s largest book fairs and one of the most historical. The fair goes back to the time when different market fairs in Germany were held, allowing bookmakers of all sorts to showcase their work while also doing their part to pass on various stories. Likewise, the Frankfurt Book Fair accomplishes just as much by still being a venue for hundreds of independent and self-published to exhibit their works.
However, there are other authors like Mary Kay Verhoff who are simply honored for the opportunity to share their very personal experiences at such a global venue.
Professionally, Verhoff has served both as a healthcare worker and manager for over 40 years and has also been a national speaker at various healthcare conferences. Yet, on the side, she has been honing her writing skills via journaling and has recently been publishing the content in the hopes her personal stories can educate readers on a number of difficult subjects.
That’s why for the Frankfurt Book Fair 2024, she’s chosen to exhibit her most recently published book “Just Breathe: A Caregiver’s Journey Through the Depths of Dementia”, an emotionally gripping recollection of her life as she became the caretaker for her husband, Dan. Despite building a beautiful family together, their lives took a tragic turn when Dan was diagnosed with dementia. The book describes her journey with him all the way to the end.
Hers is the rare book that shares the trials and triumphs of those in family caregiver situations, offering much insight as to how someone even with a healthcare background has much to struggle with.
Visitors to the 2024 Frankfurt Book Fair can find “Just Breathe: A Caregiver’s Journey Through the Depths of Dementia”displayed at the self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet’s exhibit at Stand Number 6.0 B11. The fair will be held on October 16-20, 2024, at Messe Frankfurt, Ludwig-Erhard-Anlage 1, 60327 Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The book is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
