Review Slip for Journalists


My Name As a Prayer is a book about healing the mother-daughter relationship just in time.

It has hilarious moments as it chronicles mother-daughter angst and joy. Readers also walk down the path of the mother's heroic work to gain insight in her final year, and witness her stunning life review.

It is a story of love, forgiveness and peace that illustrates the spiritual aspects of dying and questions current ideas about palliative care and creating a more spiritual death.

The subject of the book, Southern charm school owner Troyanne Ross, was an eccentric and humorous woman who never relinquished her dream of being a star. After decades of struggling with a strained mother daughter relationship, the two finally stumble onto a harmonious path when Troyanne reaches her seventies and her health is failing.

New York Times best-selling author William Forstchen said, “It is a profoundly moving work, worthy of national attention.  A must-read.”
