About the Author

Roxanne Hack is a retired Captain and 20 year veteran of the Louisville Fire Department. She was a competitive powerlifter for over 25 years. She experienced childbirth for the first time at the age of 46 and later became her mother's primary caregiver after a diagnosis of Alzheimer's and dementia. While her years of Fire Service experiences exclusively taught her about life in numerous ways, the birth of her daughter would become an unexpected revelation followed by yet another seedbed of growth toward sanctification by way of a difficult and arduous journey. Realizing there's no universal recipe for dealing with Alzheimer's and dementia, she learned much through trial and error but most importantly experienced lessons taught by her mother at a time most would think her incapable. She and her teenage daughter Shiloh live in Indiana. She continues to stay in touch with weight lifting, loves mowing and yard work, enjoys trying to figure things out herself when it comes to repairs especially if it saves her money.
