Hearing the words “it’s cancer,” threw Sara
Phillips’ life into chaos, until an unexpected turn of
events and a chance encounter with a stranger changed
everything—his name was Ben. Based on real events, Ben and
Sara discover that when all else fails, healing can come in
the most unexpected ways. Chilling and heart wrenching, His
Name Was Ben is a triumph over the devastating circumstances
and fear experienced when faced with a terminal illness. In
this narrative, the power of love conquers shadows and
transforms the very nature and meaning of what it is to be
fully alive. Paulette Mahurin lives with her husband Terry and three dogs, Max, Bella, and Lady Luck in Ventura County, California. She grew up in West Los Angeles and attended UCLA, where she received a Master’s Degree in Science.
While in college, she won awards and was published for her short-story writing. One of these stories, Something Wonderful, was based on the couple presented in His Name Was Ben, which she expanded into this fictionalized novel in 2014. Her first novel, The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap, made it to Amazon bestseller lists and won awards, including best historical fiction of the year 2012 in Turning the Pages Magazine.
Semi-retired, she continues to work part-time as a Nurse Practitioner in Ventura County. When she’s not writing, she does pro-bono consultation work with women with cancer, works in the Westminister Free Clinic as a volunteer provider, volunteers as a mediator in the Ventura County Courthouse for small claims cases, and involves herself, along with her husband, in dog rescue. Profits from her books go to help rescue dogs.
