A family’s search for answers

Heather Rain Mazen Korbmacher recounts her family’s experience after her 10-year-old son developed severe emotional and behavioral difficulties. The account traces a mother’s efforts to understand what was happening and seek help, alongside the strain these challenges placed on her child and family. Korbmacher identifies her advocacy with families affected by PANDAS/PANS/AE, giving the memoir a clear connection to those conditions. Its subject is both a parent’s search for answers and the family’s pursuit of healing and a changed daily life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

When Heather Korbmacher's 10-year-old son began having extreme emotional responses to otherwise normal situations, she began to wonder what was happening to her child. When these responses erupted into violent rages, severe panic attacks, debilitating anxiety and phobias, an inability to eat, and a rigid need for everything to be just right, this mother knew something was profoundly wrong.

In this true story, one mother shares her journey to find healing for her son and her family. She unpacks the terrifying heartache of suddenly losing the son she once knew, the fierce battle that a parent endures to save a child, and the peace of finding health and a new normal.

You will be moved by the courage of Heather's determination to find answers, save her son, and take back control of her life. You will find hope and guidance as you read this account of one family's quest for healing. You will be inspired to fight your own battles, knock down barriers, and ultimately find your own peace.

Heather Korbmacher is a dedicated mother and fierce advocate for families living with PANDAS/PANS/AE. She resides in Bellingham, WA with her loving husband and two tenacious children. Connect with her at CourageousParent.com

A portion of the proceeds will go to support PANDAS Network, dedicated to improving diagnosis and treatment of children with PANDAS/PANS/AE.
