Meet Helen Bowers and Fay Choban For many years, Helen Bowers kept her story a secret. She just took one day at a time-first as an orphan and then an abused spouse. Learn not only how she found the strength to tell her story, but also how she and her daughter-in-law, Fay Choban worked together to write My Light at the End of the Tunnel. Discover that light and how it changed her life forever. Helen Bowers has shared that light with hundreds of students at Oakdale and Skyview Elementary School where she volunteered for nearly 10 years. Autographed books will be available for sale.
