It has been a while since I updated a post about books. I am hoping to get into the habit again. I have read an abundant amount of books that I want to make sure I remember that I read, and the following is one of those books!
I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Jeanne and learn some about her sons prior to hearing about her book relating to the eldest, Zack, and the family's growth with learning to work with his Autism diagnosis.
Tell Our Story, I Will reflects the world that a mother, and family, goes through when figuring out their children, coming into the world of medical diagnosis, treatments and "cures," as well as navigating puberty, social skills, every-day life skills, and communication.
I love the straight-forwardness of the book form Jeanne's POV. She details her own thoughts and struggles, the passion she has for her children, the courage and assistance she gained from various people in her life, and an informative view into Zack's life through bits of his own words, emails, phone calls, and texts.
Just as Jeanne stated in her book, there is a lot of scary technical data and books out there for people starting to learn about their emotional and mental health, and when dealing with some so young, we strive to hear about some of the good that is out there. With raising any child, there are ups and downs, and I think this book is a great way to hear "take one day at a time and learn a few tricks from the one(s) you're learning with."
I am looking forward to hearing more about Zack's antics and the family's life as they all continue to grow together.
Thanks, Jeanne for this amazing book and a look into your personal life. It was a fantastic read and I wish you all the best.
