I cried tears of joy with the stories of unconditional love, inspiration, and determination for these families. The questions and answers beautifully blended the information resources and encouragement support needed for parents of special needs. As a teacher, I was challenged and got the most joy from opening my heart and growing my empathy for special needs children. They taught me more about life than I could ever have taught them. A must read for families, friends, therapists, teachers, and many more, who have special needs children in their lives - Jane Vernalia, Amazon.com. I can't say enough good about this book. I shared it with my best friend. This is an absolute 'must read' for families with children who have special needs. The author included a good sample size ranging in severity of disability, number of children and age. The 18 questions that were posed to families provided a continuity throughout the book. I loved the questions because they were all so relevant and provided the families an opportunity for expression, community, introspection and possible therapeutic benefit. The families were vulnerable in sharing their experiences and were treated with the highest dignity. Aspects that were shared by all families included love, supporting the child and deep concern about the future. one Mom described herself as a warrior Mom in terms of an advocating role. Isolation and burnout were addressed. One profound statement by a Mom was Chris has taught us incredibly more than we could ever teach him . A beautiful book - Greg Archibald, Amazon.ca

Author Information

Hi everyone! Welcome to my Author Bio. First and foremost, I love Jesus! He has transformed my life in every way possible and He is the reason that I write. In my books, I aim to encourage, inspire and uplift you and to point you towards the deep and transforming love of Christ. He is the One who loves us in all our brokenness. Faith in Him truly transforms us from darkness to the true light. After I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour in 2010, I began establishing a close personal relationship with Him. I turn to Him in times of joy and in times of challenge, and all the times in between, leaning in close to Him. I like to write down His words of comfort and encouragement and I offer them to you, dear reader, to bless and uplift you. I know from personal experience how very hard and painful life can be and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that, no matter what you are going through in your life, you need Jesus. He is here for you! I am an avid writer and reader, a mother to two daughters and three stepdaughters, and one of the things I enjoy most is to meet new people and hear their stories.
