BECAUSE OF YOU.
Because of your support.
Because of your dedication and kindness and goodness.
The paperback version with the bonus chapter of Forever Boy: A Mother’s Memoir of Autism and Finding Joy is at #1 new releases for Motherhood #1 new release in Parenting Books on Children with Disabilities, and #93 in memoirs (which is a really big deal because there are some hot memoir books out right now…Hi Britney!)
Do you know there was a time that I truly thought my son and I might disapear. We couldn’t leave the house safely. Riding in the car felt impossible. He was no longer in school. We couldn’t go for walks out of fear of him running into traffic. I could go on and on.
And…well, I felt like we were turning invisible. And the world was leaving us behind.
Sharing our story saved me. Telling it truthfully and openly, with dignity and love, saved me.
So, thank you. Thank you for valuing our story.
I know many of you are wondering how this paperback differs from the hardcover. Well, great question.
It has a bonus chapter included. Essentially, an epilogue that brings you the reader up to date with where we are no.
And if I’m being truthful, it’s the most favorite thing I’ve ever written. I can’t even read it without crying.
I hope you love it.
Wow.
I have no words.
Except thank you.
Let’s keep it going.
Let’s give Ms. Britney a run for her money!
I’m so proud of this book and I’m so proud to be a part of this special, special place on the internet. I hope you’re proud to be a part of it too. I couldn’t do it without you (and even if I could, I wouldn’t want to. You just make everything more fun by being you.)
I’m so glad we’re not alone.
Congrats. May it continue to go well!
