Having retired from teaching and journalism, Theresa receives a phone call from a friend asking for a favor. Would she help out two girls who are struggling with a high school writing assignment?

The sharing of her past not only provides fodder for Theresa’s students, but also prepares herself for one of the most impactful introductions yet to come.
Room For Another is a fictionalized account based on true life events of author Diane M. Dresback’s biological mother. The one thing that Diane learned about her mother was that it didn’t matter if you were blood, step, half, ex, in-law, adopted, or anywhere in-between—everyone was family and she always had room in her heart for another.

Twenty-five women (aged 30 to 80) tell stories of how they endured or navigated a variety of struggles and emerged having grown and transformed. Their desire is to share lessons learned to provide you with inspiration, hope, and encouragement. Writers describe experiences like altering limiting mindsets to recognize the value of self-care, listening, and manifesting; escaping emotionally or physically abusive environments and emerging stronger; stripping away restrictive expectations of others and creating authentic and passionate lives; and overcoming life-threatening illness through determination and taking charge. Others claim enough and intentionally discover and pursue more fulfilling careers; face harsh labels and inadequate language to become more compassionate; and find unexpected joy in mentoring and uplifting others. Their stories are important to learn from as they help us be more aware of the complexities of other people. Everybody has a story. Everybody. You will be touched by the resiliency and bravery of these writers as through their words you’ll find reasons to uplift your own life. Net profits from From Us For You book sales will be donated to a designated non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for and assisting women.

Meet Matt Corvinus
Hi, I’m a part-time non-fiction writer, and I write about a wide range of topics and concepts. I’m passionate about Business, Philosophy, History, Psychology, and Self Improvement.
I live in perpetual state of fascination with the human species. I’m ever conscious of our strength and potential. When this potential is unleashed, we absolutely and permanently change the face of the world – for good or ill. I often say that the reason we aren’t immortal gods is that we haven’t yet learned how – not because it’s impossible. A thousand years ago, the idea of humans flying would have been preposterous, but we learned how, and now humans can fly even faster than the speed of sound. Our species has more firepower at its command than the ancient myths ascribe to Zeus and Odin. We can send and receive visions without the need for elaborate rituals (all we have to do is hit “send”). We can take damaged organs out of people and put in new ones. We can attack with pestilence. We can cause deserts to bloom. In short, we’re already quite godlike if you really think about it. This keen awareness of Human Potential has led me to study human beings. I like to learn about how we work / function, the things we have done, the things we can do, how we can improve ourselves for the better, and how we can take better care of ourselves and our world. I want to help people change and improve their lives with my writing. I hope to improve peoples’ mindsets and help them become more benevolent, competent, independent, and satisfied. I also want to learn a lot and unleash my own potential. The most direct route to changing the world is to change people. Think about it: the best thing for this planet is for good people to happen to it. Let me conclude this by saying that I’m a very private person and I’m determined to do my best to stay anonymous. I write under pen names and I have no official social media presence. That might become necessary at some point, but for now, I have no interest or desire for anything like that. I just want to ponder and write. I hope that my readers will immense value from my efforts.
