The Back-Story Radio Show

This week’s show will have as our Back-Story guest Katie Gates author of The Somebody Who. Nominated for a 2009 Literary Award from the Library of Virginia, The Somebody Who is a testament to love and the value of shared history. The Somebody Who, is the story of one woman's journey from despair to empowerment as she copes with her husband's dementia. The Richmond Times Dispatch described it as a story of "empowerment and renewal" and suggested that it should be required reading for those whose lives have been touched by Alzheimers or dementia (June 10, 2009). On Amazon, all reviews have come in at the 5-star level, with one reader describing the book as "written in an effortless style and with beguiling humanity."
