What People Are Saying
“I found the book so deeply thoughtful, honest and personal. The vulnerable way the author articulated her story would resonate with anyone going through something unexpected. An emotional juggling of heartache, joy and surprise leading up to a story of unconditional love. Just wonderful!”
— Angela, California
“A powerful memoir with themes that transcend raising a child with a disability. Suzanne tells a story with a vulnerability that every parent can relate to. For those of us in this community, she gives voice to our innermost fears, challenges and triumphs. Her story is an example of how this journey often involves as much growth for us as it does for our kids.”
— Alison Swain, Head Coach Women’s Tennis, USC and mom to two girls with Down syndrome
“This book is a raw and engaging memoir. Despite the initial sadness, the reader is drawn into the beauty of the author’s world, and the fragility of us as humans. She is guided by her persistence that her son deserves all the magic in life and she conveys that brilliantly.”
