The Bookcase welcomes author Patsy Keech to our store on Tuesday, February 23 at 7:00 p.m. to read from, discuss, and sign copies of her book Mothering an Angel.

In this book, Keech describes the journey she and her husband, Robb, made during the short life of their son, Derian, through eleven surgeries, including five open heart surgeries. The book covers the 2 1/2 year experience during his lifetime and the ensuing grieving and healing process. 

In honoring the memory of their son, they were determined to assist other families with critically ill children. Patsy writes, "The only way we could do it was to extend ourselves and 'pay it forward' to the families who were still living the life we no longer had to." It was this sentiment that established Spare Key in 1997. 

This book is being done in collaboration with Spare Key. For more information, visit www.sparekey.org.
