—Huge target audience: An estimated one in twenty children in the US suffer from FASD, and thousands more have some other type of neurodivergence/learning difference, yet few books exist to help parents navigate raising children with these brain differences; the many parents out there with children with FASD and other special needs are hungry for a title like this one. —Timely: Adoption directly or indirectly touches most Americans today (1 out of every 25 US families with kids has adopted children—that's 1.5 million adopted kids, about 140,000 children each year); now more than ever before, this kind of a memoir is hugely relevant. —Well-connected author: As a licensed master social worker, FASCETS program director, certified spiritual director, and meditation teacher, the author has extensive expertise and connections in the fields of neurodiversity and mindfulness. —Award-winning: This manuscript placed third for the 2021 Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Award.
