Author Information

I am a mom of two wonderful children, one of whom has an Autism diagnosis. Their everyday adventures, some sweet, some challenging, and full of small victories, are the inspiration behind all my stories. Together we've learned how to navigate the rough times, celebrate the wins, and find joy in the moments in between. When I'm not with my children, I work in health care, caring for people of all ages and abilities. I am a natural nurturer; helping people is simply who I am. I believe that love and resilience shine through in my writing. I hope my books bring comfort, connection, and a bit of hope to the families who read them. Theresa Ferguson
