The author, an alcoholic in recovery for the past 34 years, recounts her life growing up in a family of alcoholics, her two marriages to alcoholics and then succumbing herself to the lure of alcohol. Her work demonstrates how alcohol wreaks its devastation on the lives of everyone surrounding the alcoholic. Nancy A. Parsons speaks from her own point of view from a small child growing to adulthood, her married life with her alcoholic husbands, her own life as an alcoholic and finally, her escape, with God’s very real grace and the help of Alcoholics Anonymous.  "I wrote this book to give someone on path of the trials and tribulations of an alcoholic destruction the courage and strength to turn aside from that path to healing and wholeness. Life becomes difficult, or even impossible in some cases. You have to swallow your pride and go for help. We are in a drug oriented world today. Our children are affected by our behavior, and by our choices. If you need help or love an alcoholic and just do not know where to turn, there is help out there."

<p>Nell Bane takes her ghostwriting skills to western Massachusetts to help Daniel Shirley write a memoir. Shirley believes he was the last person born in the Swift River Valley before it was drowned to create the Quabbin Reservoir, and he maintains that his life has been marked by this distinction. As Nell writes, she is drawn into the sad and amazing history of the Quabbin project that shifted the residents of Prescott, Dana, Greenwich and Enfield out of their homes in the beautiful Swift River Valley so the land could be flooded to create a water supply for Boston, eighty-three miles to the east. Nell gradually becomes aware that her mild and gentle client, Daniel Shirley, is obsessed with his legacy-a legacy of bitterness-and she comes to believe he might take drastic revenge upon the peaceful waters of the Quabbin Reservoir. The Ghost Lays The Ghosts To Rest is the fifth and final book in the Nell Bane series</p>

The Cheshire Press

<p>In her eighth decade, and feeling compelled to comment on what "she got out of it all," Nancy Parsons offers this collection of casual essays. It's a mixed dish of memoir, social comment, and rant, loosely organized around the subject of aging, and seasoned with a healthy helping of humor. With the right attitude, growing older is an adventure. It would be a shame to miss it.</p>
