14. I just wrote my first book, "MY FUNNY DAD, HARRY." I wrote it when my dad died last February in his memory. I kept thinking of so many funny and unusual things he did while trying to sleep and decided to put them into a book. It's a short, quick, emotional read about his love for family, the funny things he did, his cats, and how our relationship changed as we grew older. I share some of the frustrations of being a primary care giver to my dad and how God helped me through the difficult months following his death.

18. Recently published memoir, FOUR ROOMS, UPSTAIRS: A Psychotherapist's Journey Into and Beyond Her Mother's Mental Illness. The feed-back I'm receiving makes me feel confident that as a daughter of immigrants (with a mother who happened to be mentally ill), clinicians will benefit from reading it as well as patients who have been deprived the opportunity of living in an environment in which the healthy, independent development of their spirit could thrive. Many have already told me that they have gained hope from reading my book. Indeed, I don't want sound presumptuous, but I do believe it will be of interest to most readers. It is not a HOW TO manual but rather a devastating story which evolves into an exploration which allows the reader to experience how it is possible to move through trauma without forgetting but with a new-found ability to forgive and to move on. If my story speaks to you, I will happily send you a copy. In any event, I look forward to your response. With much gratitude for your time and consideration, Linda Appleman Shapiro, author.

The book is also about my unlikely relationship with a stray cat in my backyard. (At the beginning of this memoir I hated cats.)
