Acerca de esta escucha

The title, “The Endless Tunnel,” teases you to come on in and see if you, like primary author Cindy Koch, can make it through the many challenges along life’s pathin the eerie darkness toward the little light far off in the distance.

The sub-title “A Poetic Journey Through the Tortured Mind of a Woman Battling a Lifetime of Mental Illness and, in Later Years, Incurable Cancer,” delves into herstruggles with a bipolar diagnoses and schizophrenia, and also with rectal cancer.

Abandoned by her natural mother when she was just an infant and suffering subsequent beatings at the hands of her stepmother, Cindy, at age 7 walked to the top of a tall building and jumped off. Fortunately, she landed in a mattress-filled dumpster and miraculously survivedwith a few broken bones and bruises.

What followed included a foster father repeatedly raping her, the death of her twin brother at age 10 to mental retardation, teenaged years onto adulthood filled with bad choices she admittedly made in lazy, insecure men, giving birth to five kids who all endedup being raised by others and her many failed suicide attempts.

Despite dealing with her painful illnesses, Cindy was a talented amateur poet, artist and journal keeper, who, when at death’s door, asked her husband of 32 years, Ed Koch, a retired longtime newspaper reporter, to go through her large pile of notebooks, drawings and diaries and compile them into a book.

Cindy, who laments in one of her poems in “The Endless Tunnel” that she spent much of her life “seeking love and mental sanctity, treading water in a sea of insanity,” died of cancer on Jan.1, 2017. She was only 58.

Ed Koch, whose five published Amazon books include“Roller Derby Requiem” and his memoir “Bad Sport,” over the next eight years poured over the many spiral-bound books, full of Cindy’s hand-written poems, some of which were co-written with him, and drawingshe felt best told his first wife’s haunting life story.

Ed and wife Rita Anderson-Koch, the book’s editor, in Cindy’s memory hope “The Endless Tunnel” will help bring greater attention to the plight of a disease the National Institute of Mental Health says afflicts nearly 60 million Americans.

That is more than one in five U.S. adults -- 23.1percent of the nation’s adult population, NIMH says. If you need help finding your way through severe mental illness – truly “The Endless Tunnel” -- the authors urge you to seek help through hotlines they listed near the book’s end. And, by all sensible means, stay alive!
