A parent in Wisconsin Karen’s story has meant the world to me.
A parent in Alaska This book has somehow made my family’s journey valid. You, Karen, are a lighthouse in my ocean.
Jacqueline Egli, Executive Director PACE Brantley-Hall School, Longwood, Florida This book has become required reading for my staff and a recommended reading for parents. Dr. Foli gives us all a lesson in persistence, patience, hope, and the importance of teamwork.
