My memoir will touch hearts and I hope to help people in so many ways. In 90 days my life was turned upside down.


Background Information

 Shelly Hess is a proud mother who loves nothing more than spending time with her family, and teaching her remarkable son and daughter the value of the family bond. She is also an animal lover, whose two dogs love to take her for a walk in the park on a beautiful fall or spring day.

            When Shelly is not spending time with her extended family, or at work in the medical claims industry, she often enjoys a good glass of wine while contemplating a serene lake or the sound of the surf on a beach vacation.

            The author firmly believes that everyone has a story to tell, and no matter how wounded we may be by circumstance or tragedy, healing can come in the telling of our story. It is her hope that in sharing her tragic experience, she can encourage and inspire those who are facing challenges of their own.

            Shelly Hess lives in a suburb of St. Louis, where she awaits a golf teacher with the patience to teach her the game. She firmly believes that everything happens for a reason, and trusts in the ancient Buddhist proverb: “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”

Final Drive
Final Drive is released by author Shelly Hess, as told to Vivien Kooper “We stand at the beginning of a new year – or a new relationship, a new job, or even a simple drive out in the country – and we imagine the road ahead, as if we could see clear and straight. As if there were no bends in the road that seemingly come out of nowhere.” These words from the book’s forward provide a haunting preview of the author’s story of love and heartbreak. Final Drive follows the story of a Midwestern family’s great loss when, out of the blue, Hess’ husband tells her he wants a divorce. He says he’s no longer in love with her and wants to shed his family responsibilities. Seemingly overnight, he goes from being a devoted husband and father to someone who acts as if his family and 20-year marriage meant nothing. Tragedy strikes again a few months later when Bill dies after a terrible motorcycle accident near a road called Final Drive. Hess must help her two children deal with the emotional fallout from losing their father. Along the way, she discovers how to triumph in the face of adversity. Author Shelly Hess lives in a St. Louis suburb and works in the medical billing industry. She hopes sharing her experience will encourage and inspire those facing their own challenges.
