What a fantastic book I could not put it down. I am really grateful to have read this book in a time when I needed strength the most when I found out my own child has CP, Thank you Laura.

My husband and I both read this book and it has been such an incredible help to us. We could relate to so much of what the author writes about. She really knows how to connect with her readers. On a scale of 1 to 10, we give this book an 11.

My 8 month old son was diagnosed with CP at 4 months (though we knew there were issues from the beginning due to birth injury). I started reading this book a month ago and am so happy I found it listed as a resource in the book "Children with Cerebral Palsy". The emotions the author feels and shares are so similar and validating that it could not help but to reassure me and to help me not feel so alone. I have wanted to try alternative therapies from the beginning and had only been exposed to cranio sacral therapies. This book is invaluable in that she has already done so much of the research and shares her experiences that it cuts my time down in half and gives me starting points to begin my own research. So many of the things that she shares I had not heard of, but knew in my heart had to exist - she put a name to them. Her ongoing changing feelings and Seth's changes give me an indicator of things to come and things to watch out for, hopefully side-stepping some of the problems she experienced during her journey. I am so grateful for this book!!

A great writer and parent who paved the way for many with this moving book. An extraordinary resource for parents seeking help children with special needs and for adults who have special needs who also want to live full lives.

This book is truly inspirational. While the resources listed undoubtedly make the book invaluable for parents of special needs children, it also serves as a metaphor for facing any daunting life challenge.

What a great book! Laura Shapiro Kramer's experiences benefit parents and educators. If only more books had as much information and heartfelt emotion as this one!

This is an inspirational story for any parent. Kramer's fierce tenacity and unwaivering faith should be a model for others. I onl hope that I am such an advocate for my children. I recomend this book to any parent, or anyone who works with kids.

This is an inspirationl book. Kramer's tanacity and agressive search for hope should be a model for all parents!
