Fixing Boo Boo is heartwarming, informative, and funny from a sister who chose to be a caregiver not knowing what she didn't know about brain injury. It's the story of 9,000 families every year in Florida who give up their lives to care for their loved one. Valerie Breen CEO, Brain Injury Association of Florida. Fixing Boo Boo provides a great perspective! Many caregivers will relate to it, and just as importantly, it will invoke thought about disability sensitivity from others that have not been touched by disability... yet. It's a great read! David C. Jones, President Florida Disabled Outdoors Association
