Press Release Hat Tricks from Heaven

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Woburn Author Publishes Poignant Book
Aimed at Helping Families Dealing with Drug Addiction
A Mother’s Story of Joy, Devastation, Loss and Inspiration


WOBURN, MA — Most acknowledge the growing drug epidemic in the United States but never expect it to affect their lives, author Kate Genovese was one of these people until the day she realized her son was an addict. This was one of the worst days of her life, but not nearly as bad as the day he died from a drug overdose. Kate, never one to sit idly by, decided to work through her grief by writing a book to help others dealing with drug addiction.


The resulting book, Hat Tricks from Heaven, is a poignant look at the promising life of Christopher
John “Geno” Genovese. She shows how drug addiction invaded his life and affected their family and
everyone who knew Geno. Genovese pulls no punches as she describes what her family went through in their devastating battle against heroin’s hold on their son.

    “I believe the reason for this book is to open parents’ eyes so they can recognize the signs and
symptoms of drug abuse,” Genovese says. “If you’re concerned, take immediate action and be persistent.

Remember, addiction doesn’t stick to a certain zip code; it afflicts the wealthy just as often as the poor. Be aware and educated, and don’t hide in denial.”

Hat Tricks From Heaven
The Story of an Athlete in His Own Prison of Addiction

A golden boy grows up in a loving family, surrounded by friends, and effortlessly sails through high school and college, then goes on to a promotions career. What no one suspected was the six surgeries he’d had for sports-related injuries had left him with a huge problem — an escalating opioid addiction.
This is the incredible story of a mother’s roller coaster ride from the non-stop joy of motherhood to the realization that her son is in the clutches of drug addiction.

Hat Tricks from Heaven is available as a paperback and ebook from most online retailers, including Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and iBooks.

Kitty Genovese Murder Case Still Grips NYC, Nation

 Editor's note: Kitty Genovese is not related to the owner of this blog
______________________________________________

50 Years Later, Kitty Genovese Murder Case Still Grips NYC, Nation

The case “caught the spirit of the time,” said Thomas Reppetto, a police historian. “It seemed to symbolize that society no longer cared about other people.”

Genovese’s random stabbing by Winston Moseley on March 13, 1964, in Kew Gardens, Queens, became a sensation when The New York Times reported that “38 respectable, law-abiding citizens” in Queens watched the attack over more than half an hour and didn’t call police until it was too late.

While the number of people who saw or heard the crime has since become a matter of dispute, Genovese’s murder left its mark on public policy and psychology.

Article on Turning 50 Barbara Hannah Grufferman

 Huffington Post article by Barbara Hannah Grufferman

GET UPDATES FROM Barbara Hannah Grufferman
 

5 Life-Changing Events That Can Shake Us To Our Core


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/barbara-hannah-grufferman/turning-50_b_4181486.html

 
Organization expert and best-selling author Julie Morgenstern told (Barbara Hannah Grufferman) when she interviewed Morgenstern recently that turning 50 is often so traumatic it can make many people stay stuck where they are, unable to move on.

Julie's advice was to acknowledge the "5 biggies" 



1) Your "I'm really 50?" moment

2)Your children may be leaving home

3)Your work life may be changing

4)Your marriage is ending, or you're starting a new one:
 
5)Your spouse or another family member becomes ill or disabled, or passes on: Illness and death are natural occurrences in life, especially as we get older, but we are never fully prepared. If a spouse dies, your life is irrevocably changed on many levels, and this kind of change can stop you from creating your new life. Caring for an ill spouse or parent can hinder your ability to open up the next chapter in your life.

_________________________________________________________________


For those of us in the AARP age bracket, it is best to have contingency plans in place to help us prepare for "rainy day" moments.  Articles like Grufferman's are essential, yet they sometimes resonate more with those who are going through the "5 biggies" rather than the people who need to plan ahead for the "what ifs"

The Kate Genovese series of books bring up these issues and more through fictional characters.  Never preachy, the compelling stories keep the reader tuned in, while dealing with the unexpected from the perspective of a trained professional.
