Overview

Caring for a child with special needs can be both rewarding and challenging. But, like any form of parenting, there isn't a rulebook or manual to help you decide what's best for your child's growth and development. The author's story begins not with her children but with her own childhood spent traveling the country in the backseat of her parents' car (her perpetually restless dad had post-traumatic stress disorder from WWII), often with very little money and few provisions. Where someone else might have seen deprivation and isolation, the author viewed her unusual childhood with a sense of wonder and gratitude. After marrying young and giving birth to a son who was legally blind (and who went on to earn a PhD on full scholarship), she and her husband adopted four more special needs children and fostered many others. Each child has their own special story about overcoming tremendous physical and emotional difficulties in order to be able to succeed and enjoy life.
