“Pattie’s touching memoir is the heart and soul of a mother’s love—from happiness to despair, and everything in-between. It will inspire you to face calamitous events and refuse to be conquered by them.”—Dave Pelzer, author of A Child Called “It” and National Jefferson Award Winner

“If Pattie Welek Hall's wonderful and moving book, A Mother's Dance, proves one thing it is this: when tragedy strikes, a mother's love is surpassed only by God's, the combined power of which can bring about miracles of healing.”—Edward Grinnan, Editor-in-Chief and Vice President of Guideposts Publications and author of The Promise of Hope

“Pattie Welek Hall's book touched my heart. There is something in this book for everybody, no matter your religion. People from all religions can benefit from the healing that is found in Pattie's story. She finds comfort in her religion of origin, Catholicism, and comfort in new thought/age philosophies, which she accurately points out are really old age. If you want to learn to use spiritual principles to turn tragedy into growth, this book is for you!”—Rev. Ed Kosak, MSW. Minister, Unity Church of Charleston, SC

“Mainly the book is a story about hope, resilience, fortitude, faith, and about the value of family and friends—the most important elements in the recovery of any patient. It reminds practicing physicians and nurses that “the little things” matter the most to patients and families, that we often overlook them, that patients and families may have creative ways to improve therapy and should be encouraged to do so, and that the fortitude of our patients can be limitless . . . A must read for those involved in the care of patients with acute brain injuries.”—Julio A. Chalela MD, Associate Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Medical University of South Carolina, Medical Director NSICU
