This book is for those who know the shock and impact of parenting a child with special needs. When that special child comes, your world shifts from the familiar to the unknown, including your plans for the future. Feelings of loss, isolation, or alienation can lead you to question your personal identity, self-worth, and the ability to stay the course. In this book, author Melonie Mangum meets you with compassion right where you are, with page after page of gentle encouragement, wisdom from the stories of others, and practical help from loving therapists who "get it." Her provocative words are to inspire you and enhance your journey as you fulfill God's purpose for your life and the life of your child with special needs. Be encouraged. You are not alone, and there is hope.
