Martha Louise

Martha Louise had always been a writer, but she did not envision her first published book as a memoir about her life and the events that occurred while married to her Vietnam veteran husband. Her career had led her into several roles over the years: exceptional student education teacher, social worker, mental health therapist and school psychologist. She had multiple stories to tell; she had not planned to tell the story of her husband's post-war stress, depression, and alcoholism. But she knew it was a story she had to tell.

Her recognition that we all have something--multitudes of people face tragic events or encounter some type of adversity in their life situation--prompts Martha to continue to write to remind individuals they are not alo

Her recognition that we all have something--multitudes of people face tragic events or encounter some type of adversity in their life situation--prompts Martha to continue to write to remind individuals they are not alone and to offer hope through shared stories. She strives to see and live life as reflected by her mother's motto, "We make the most of it."
