Yvonne deSousa Hi! I am an author with 2 books available. My first one is a humor book about a serious illness and the second is a serious book about a humorous person. The latter, Shelter of the Monument: A Provincetown Love Story, will be released on November 16, 2023 and it is a coming-of-age memoir about life in my quirky, Cape Cod hometown, falling in love with a wonderful, impish, guy and trying to make a life together despite his addiction to the popular drug of the '80's, cocaine. Within the struggle of all four seasons in a one season town, this is a story of what wonderful and heartbreaking events can take place when the wrong person says just the right thing. My first book is the well reviewed MS Madness! A "Giggle More, Cry Less" Story of Multiple Sclerosis. It details the year following my chronic illness diagnosis and how I learned that giggles are good for you and who knew, I can write funny! I have done many speaking engagements surrounding the topic of how laughter is a valid coping mechanism. I would love to appear on your podcast and share with others how I not only survived an MS diagnosis but how I have thrived in its aftermath and/or how despite his own demons, my first love gave me the courage to embrace life both inside and outside of our beautiful, small hometown.
