Ginnievive Patch is the pseudonym used by the author of Help 4 HD's new book, I Fight for Understanding. Ginnievive is both a nurse and a caregiver extraordinaire who has many insightful tips for caregivers. She is a caregiver to her ex-husband, her mother-in-law, and two of her sons, all of whom have Huntington's disease. Her passion is to educate caregivers and help them survive the turmoil HD/JHD can cause in the early stages, primarily if the psychiatric symptoms outweigh the physical symptoms. She and her ex-husband remain close, making memories. Her motto is, "If I can help one family avoid being shredded apart, then I have accomplished my goal." HD/JHD is a wild roller coaster, and her goal is to make the ride smoother for others. I Fight for Understanding is available for purchase from the CreateSpace eStore (https://www.createspace.com/7113258) and on Amazon and Kindle. All net proceeds from the book go to Help 4 HD International's Family Relief Fund.
