Clovis, CA Author Publishes New Book

Strength – Within, a new book by Yvonne Sasso, has been released by RoseDog Books.

Strength – Within is based on a true story. The people in the family are real, however the names of the hospitals and healthcare personnel have been changed.

The story takes place in Fresno, California, in 1997, when Mo Sasso falls from a ladder, crushing his skull and ending up in a coma. This story tells of the struggle, hope, miracle of God, and how a family sticks together through this crisis.

The dilemma of "pulling the plug" and the decision not to tugs at the reader's heart as they wait in suspense for what lies ahead for Mo. The end result is that Mo grows from a hopeless invalid, to a person who can still share the love of his family. He is not the same as he was, but each day he improves.

Strength – Within touches on the indifference of hospital care, the constant vigilance of the family to make sure that Mo gets proper attention and a strong determination as each family member takes a devoted part in Mo's care. This story is filled with tears, joy and insight into an average American life, and the strength within each and every one of us.

Strength – Within is a 62-page paperback with a retail price of $12.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4349-8830-0. It was published by RoseDog Books of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
