OUR TESTIMONIALS

"Don't Eat the Elephants" is "truly a 'work of heart.' It's a love story. It's a story about advocacy, a story that shows how much going the extra mile means. Pat skillfully illustrates the necessity and rewards of looking past the symptoms and into the 'real person' behind the illness."
-- Cathy Dolhi, MS OTR/L, FAOTA


"This is a book I couldn't put down. It's heartwarming, inspiring -- a great source of enlightenment for me at work and in life."

"As I read your story, the layers of human spirit, drive, courage, challenge, love, determination, and genuineness danced around nonstop. You told the story so elegantly! It is full of fresh thoughts and new life insights, and I absolutely enjoyed it from start to finish. I did not want to read it too quickly as I wanted to delay the story from ending! As I read the last pages, my heart, throat and eyes relayed my emotions but the layers continued to dance around me. Thank you for sharing this story!"
-- Sara Villarreal, MS, OTR/L, Spangdahlem AB, Germany


"I spent many hours turning pages and laughing and crying with you as you made this difficult journey with your husband. I have nothing but admiration for your efforts in trying to convey the pain and tragedy of this illness, while simultaneously sharing with us this very real and beautiful bright soul who will forever remain your soul mate. I wish you all the very best..."
