Introduction

This Is as Good as It Gets is the sixth book that I have written for Xlibris. It introduces some new main characters to the reader: Ya Ya, Carolyn, Terry, Mindy, Peter, Mark, and their classmates at school in suburban Philadelphia in the 1960s.

Story Overview

It tells the story of how my brothers and I found out our mother had MS and how we dealt with it during our school years and also later in life. This book is an interactive one and also teaches how to put together a science fair for an elementary school.

Themes and Values

This book also teaches some important family values both in the 1960s and today. I hope all my readers enjoy this book as much as I did writing it.
