Blackmon is beloved for his inspirational videos and words of wisdom. Now with his book, he shares a deeply personal story of his mother's battle against COVID-19.
Blackmon's New Book
Courage Behind the Mask centers on Blackmon's mother, Clara C. Blackmon. In spring 2020, 71-year-old Clara contracted COVID-19 while working in a Michigan senior facility.
Despite having preexisting conditions, Clara fought the virus for 79 grueling days. She spent 15 days on a ventilator in the ICU as doctors struggled to save her life.
With the US-Canada border closed, Blackmon agonized over his mother's health from afar. He kept a journal of her condition through daily talks with doctors.
Courage Behind the Mask offers an unfiltered look at Clara's near-death experiences and the tireless efforts of healthcare workers. Blackmon shares uncensored stories of the doctors, nurses and clergy who never gave up on Clara.
A Story of Resilience
At its heart, Courage Behind the Mask is a testament to the human spirit's incredible resilience. Clara's will to survive, aided by dedicated hospital staff, is nothing short of heroic.
Blackmon hopes the book inspires others facing adversity to find strength within themselves. Even in life's bleakest moments, we can have courage and faith we will overcome.
Courage Behind the Mask proves that with perseverance and community, we can survive even a deadly pandemic. Clara's remarkable recovery shows that as dark as things may seem, there is always light ahead.
