Editorial Reviews

From the Author

I wrote this book with the intention of helping other moms who have children with special needs by validating their struggles and efforts. Motherhood Magnified was written in an upbeat tone with warmth and humor. The stories are about everyday happenings that moms can relate to with chapters on "Giving Medicine", being jealous of "The Jones's," "Making Mistakes," and many more. I'm not an expert, nor am I a doctor. I'm a mom, like many others, that knows the heartache and joys of raising a child with special needs who wanted to pass on what I've learned to help, maybe even inspire, another mom on this very special journey.
