Book Description | Raising a child is never easy. Raising a child with a disability shared with virtually no one else in the world...is a bit more challenging. It is the author's profound hope that everyone, whether living with a child with disabilities or not, learns that with hope, courage, faith and a large dose of humor anything is possible. This non-traditional memoir takes readers through the author's life using journal entries, reflections, stories and facts. The frustrations, fears and joys of her journey with Ryan illustrate the desire of every parent-to raise a child in the best, most loving way possible. This book is meant as an emotional and practical resource for those who care for and love someone with a disability. Although, truly, it is a book for everyone. |
