She is grateful to be a 15 year cancer survivor and is most proud of her two children and five beautiful grandchildren. Her son, Sean, is the pianist who inspired the classical music background in The Lost Concerto.\n\nHelaine was a White House volunteer for Tipper and Al Gore and continues to be a passionate advocate for women \u0026amp; children’s issues. Because she believes in “giving back,” she founded The SunDial Foundation, Inc., which benefited our most vulnerable families for 20 years.

All net royalties from Helaine’s books will support children’s reading programs, inner city food banks, education, health, shelter, child protection, the arts and economic independence.\n\nThe Lost Concerto won the Ben Franklin Silver Medal for Suspense, First Place Royal Palm Award, and was a Finalist for these awards: USA Best Books, International Book Awards, National Indie Excellence, and Next Generation Indie Books. \n\nHelaine wants to tell a good story, create characters with depth, and paint pictures with words. To make people feel. She wants to be a storyteller forever. \n\nYou can find much more information at her website, HelaineMario.com\n View more >>Helaine Mario Book Series
