My mom had multiple sclerosis, and it screwed up my whole family. This not just her story; it is my family’s story about how we all coped with my mom’s progressive condition in our own different ways. One was ashamed and fled—he was my father. One only came to help once a week—she was my grandmother. Several only came to visit once a year—they were my mom’s two closest friends, my aunt, my uncle, and my cousins. Two had to stay for the long, hard road that lay before them—that was my brother and me. I’ve kept a journal all my life. It wasn’t to keep track of my heartaches and childish thoughts. It was to give me a place to vent everything I was going through. I used some of my journal entries to write this book. I wanted others to know that not only did my brother and I survive the difficulties of our turbulent childhood because of this horrific disease that our mom had but we actually came out of it stronger, more well-adjusted people because of it. By sharing my story, I am simply letting others know that they are not alone.

An eleven-year-old Navajo boy is taken by force from his Arizona reservation home and bussed to Fort Sill Indian School near Lawton and Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in 1949. The U.S. law requires the Navajo children to attend school in a federally operated boarding school. The boy is treated roughly at his capture and on the bus trip. He vows to escape from the school and walk/run back the eight hundred miles back to his home, realizing he has no money and does not trust the white man. He is forced to rely on his survival skills. He makes several friends at the school. However, in the spring, he leaves at night and starts his journey home. The challenges he faces at the school and also his journey and how he overcomes those challenges are detailed. When he finally reaches his home area, he hears crying from several people and creeps through the sagebrush to see what is happening. The same government agents who seized him are trying to wrestle an eight-year-old girl from her mother and grandmother and put her on the bus. But while that happens, the boy slips unnoticed on to the bus and invites all the children to follow him, and he will hide and protect them until the agents have gone and stopped looking for them. Twenty-one of the children come with him, and he hikes for two days, covering his trails, until he reaches an old unknown cliff dwelling that he and his family had stayed at many times. It is well hidden. For close to a year, the children survive in the cliff dwelling, learning Indian skills from the boy and school skills from a twelve-year-old girl. Meanwhile, a large political battle takes place for many months, and finally, the law is changed so the Navajo children can stay on the reservation to learn the white mans ways and education. When all the papers have been signed by the Congress and the president, the childrens group is able to return home. A large dinner is planned by the tribal council for their return. At this dinner, the boy, Jeff White Cloud, has his name formally changed by the tribal leaders to Nasha Bi Hoga, He Who Walks Alone.
For One Brief Moment is the story of one woman's struggle against cancer, a battle that many others fought both before and after her. Some have won, some have lost and with some the battle still rages. But none have gone forth to meet this evil and merciless foe with greater courage or with more loving support from family and friends than Joann, whose story is told here. This is not a happy story. It is told with sadness and pain and sorrow and with a sense of guilt on the part of some who survive. But it is also a story of bravery and strength and determination and endurance and of the love that helped to light her lonely way.
The Living End is a tribute to an unforgettable woman, and a testimony to the way a disease can awaken an urgent desire for love and forgiveness. Told with sparkling wit and warmth, The Living End will resonate with families coping with Alzheimer's, and any reader looking for hope and inspiration. Robert Leleux's grandmother JoAnn was a steel magnolia, an elegant and devastatingly witty woman: quick-tongued, generous in her affections, but sometimes oddly indifferent to the emotions of those who most needed her. When JoAnn began exhibiting signs of Alzheimer's, she'd been estranged from her daughter, Robert's mother Jessica, for decades. As her disease progressed, JoAnn lost most of her memories, but she also forgot her old wounds and anger. She became a happy, gentler person who was finally able to reach out to her daughter in what became a strangely life-affirming experience, an unexpected blessing that gave a divided family a second chance.
