Brookhaven, MS, September 09, 2024 — Elaine Brewer has completed her new book, “Ava’s Adenoids”: an easy-to-read children’s story that addresses the difficult topic of health and medical issues. This book takes a topic that can often be quite frightening or confusing for children and helps to comfort them and make it easier for them to understand.
Author Elaine Brewer is a full-time real estate broker in the town of Brookhaven, Mississippi, where she lives with her husband and their cat, Socks. She and her husband have three children, five grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren, who are a constant source of entertainment.
Brewer is a past president of the local Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (JDF) and has traveled to Washington, D.C., to lobby for research funding. She is active in the community, having been a charter member of the Grandparents Club at Brookhaven Academy. She served as secretary for seven years and was president of the BA Booster’s Club for three years. She also serves her church by participating in many activities, with her favorite being Operation Christmas Child. Her hobbies include gardening, reading historical fiction, photography, sewing, Pilates, horseback riding, and traveling. She and her husband have been to each state in the Continental United States, as well as Alaska, Canada, and Mexico. They have enjoyed trail riding in several states. She is known as “Mimi” to her grandchildren and all their friends.
Brewer writes, “Ava was very little, but she had a big family. She had parents, two sets of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins to love and care for her.”
She continues, “A big family was not all she had. Ava had big adenoids. When she spent the night with her grandmother (Mimi), she made a lot of noise trying to breathe. Sometimes she would stop breathing for several seconds. When this happened, Mimi would wake up terrified.”
