Freeing Teresa - A True Story...

Franke James, Teresa Heartchild,...

When an idealistic activist objects to her siblings’ plan to ship their disabled sister off to a nursing home, she’s forced to choose between family and her sister’s freedom.
A riveting and inspiring true story brought to life by a cast of over a dozen actors, including Jackie Blackmore, Lauren Potter, and Dayleigh Nelson.
TRIGGER WARNING: This story deals with dysfunctional family relationships and ableist attitudes, which some readers may find upsetting.
Franke James is an environmental activist who got into trouble in her own backyard—family trouble. She objected when she heard her siblings’ plan to put their disabled sister, Teresa Heartchild, into a nursing home. Teresa, who has Down syndrome, refused to go. But the other siblings insisted and secretly put Teresa into an institution for end-of-life care.
Teresa was in shock. Franke was horrified and organized a rescue. That’s when all hell broke loose. The two sisters had to stand together—against their siblings, the medical system, and the police—to defend Teresa’s right to be free.
This is a true story about a key civil rights issue for all people with disabilities—the right to decide where you live.
PRAISE for Freeing Teresa
“The result is more than a memoir: it’s a testimony to how ‘tickets to freedom’ are gained through fighting and love.”
D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
“Gut-wrenching and awe-inspiring. This story will break your heart and then fill it up again.”
Catherine McKercher, author of Shut Away
“A gripping story about courage, love, and an unshakeable belief in human potential.”

MD Beverly Joyce

Upon returning home from golf on a rare afternoon free of responsibilities, Dr. Beverly Joyce, a busy and beloved OB-GYN, listened to a phone message that would shake her identity and send her on a life-changing journey of self-discovery. That call would instantly help free her from the hidden doubt, guilt, and shame that had plagued her throughout her life.

She chronicles her most influential life experiences and her journey to today, revealing with raw honesty and vulnerability how she effectively suppressed her childhood traumas while still excelling in her educational and professional endeavors. She describes the pressures of balancing career and family, trying to be the perfect doctor, daughter, wife, and mother, and eventually experiencing extreme burnout at being none of these. Her deep dive into physician wellness, spurred by her own need for healing and change, ultimately led her to discover her truest self and, with it, a deeper calling.
Throughout this deeply revealing and engaging memoir, Joyce attempts to answer the questions so many women physicians have struggled with: Who am I? What do I believe about myself? How do I find meaning and satisfaction in life as a physician and outside? What excites me and keeps me focused on the path ahead?
With honesty and grace in describing her journey, Joyce inspires readers to reflect on their own experiences and to search for and find their most authentic selves.
