In a World Filled with Panic and Fear, a Woman Struggles to find her Real Self
Fears Flutterby tells the true story of a woman who has spent much of her life in a state of fear. It is an autobiographical study written with the caveat that though the author is telling her own story, names have been changed, and events have been compressed and, some, imaginatively recreated, so she could relate her own metamorphosis in an incisive way.
Denver, CO (PRWEB) January 28, 2006 -- “She struggled writing the book, not knowing who the real person was. Was she the child of her mother and father or the wife to her ex-husband? Was she the mother of her two children, or the person full of fear that she knew so well? Was she the caregiver to her friend? Was she the unforgiving person or the loving person, the child of God? Who was the real person? Or was she all the above?”
Joanna Lamatt is trapped inside a circle of panic and fear, which have colored her daily thoughts to the point where she is living a neurotic existence. As her twenty-six year marriage is falling apart, she meets Catherine, a woman whose tenderness and caring have a profound impact on her life. As the friendship blossoms, Joanna makes the decision to leave the marriage and move in with Catherine. Through their time together, Joanna undergoes a process of self-discovery and slowly emerges like a butterfly from a cocoon. When Catherine is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, Joanna must find a way to let go of the one person she has relied on for support to face life on her own.
Author rmLamatt spent fifteen years as a caregiver for her dear friend who suffered from Alzheimer’s. This led her to volunteer as a facilitator for an Alzheimer’s support group. She opened the first adult day-care center in her town and then worked as an activity director for an assisted living facility. As a testament to God’s influence in her life and the healing powers of love, Lamatt penned Fears Flutterby. She is currently at work on the sequel, Wrong Diagnosis.
