Carmen
Leal - As her husband's
caregiver for twelve years, Carmen
Leal knows first hand the stresses
and the joys of caregiving. Out
of her experiences God birthed a
ministry to families with Huntington's
disease and those in a caregiving
situation. She is the author of
nine books including The Twenty-Third
Psalm for Caregivers, The Twenty-Third
Psalm for Those Who Grieve, Faces
of Huntington's, and Portraits of
Huntington's. Her writings have
been featured in Guideposts, Focus
on the Family, Decision Magazine,
the Orlando Sentinel, and numerous
national and local publications.
Her personal experience stories
have appeared in dozens of compilation
book series. A storyteller with
a dramatic testimony, she is a popular
presenter at women's retreats, church
groups, conventions and conferences.
Her wit, humor, and poignant personal
observations, coupled with her down-to-earth
style and common sense approach
to dealing with life, inspire her
audiences. Through her transparency,
she has the ability to encourage
and bring hope to all. Using songs
to enhance her message, Carmen weaves
music into her presentations using
a rich clear voice. Carmen lives
with her family on the island of
Oahu in Hawaii.
