Product Information

But my daughter constantly jumps from activity to activity, and will burn the house down if you dare to take your eyes off of her for more than a second. Thanks Kate for such a raw but honest account of your journey which in turn tells me that we’ll also be ok. And yesterday I said, turn it down probably 50 times because he was being very he had an anxious day, but the noise?

It will help you understand just a little bit better, and encourage you to enter their world just a little more.You will laugh, you will cry, but most of all, you will understand, even just a little bit more, what this life is like from a parent's view. There is so much to say about this book- I laughed, I cried and I was instantly taken back to the early days of receiving an autism diagnosis for our son. I shed so many tears reading these pages and found so many similarities between their story and our own with our nonverbal/autistic son Jack. When Cooper was diagnosed, I told myself he was on the right side of that spectrum, that he was high functioning and that we had won the autism lottery.

The Woman in Me is a brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope. From the creator of Finding Cooper's Voice comes a powerful memoir about motherhood and unconditional love. If that name sounds familiar, it may be because I shared an article of mine this past Christmas that Kate was gracious enough to share with her audience.In Forever Boy, Kate Swenson eloquently takes us with her on her journey into a joyful life with her son Cooper.
