Praise for His Name was Ben

“Paulette Mahurin compassionately renders an insightful tale about love and life in the moment, when a moment is all there is. Both ordinary and extraordinary, Sara and Ben kept me up at night rooting for them, as did Mahurin of course, a writer of exceptional heart, for her tender and wise depiction of love against all odds. A rare pleasure, His Name Was Ben is not to be missed.”— Lee Fullbright, author of The Angry Woman Suite  

“Against the biggest of obstacles a couple can face, the positive message is that it is never too late to start living.” – Christoph Fischer author of Sebastian.
