Special Gifts

Here it is. The moment I've been dreading. Special Gifts is out and available on Amazon. It actually came out last week, but with the move I forgot all about it. Probably on purpose.

Remember that lady a few years back, who was caught on tape in the Wal-mart parking lot, slapping her kid? There was a big manhunt underway so they could hunt down this terrible woman and see if her child was okay. Maybe even press charges against her?

Think her.

Think me, in a similar situation.

If you buy the book, and if you read my piece, I hope you will have compassion.

For all of us.

Special Gifts: Women Writers on the Heartache, the Happiness and the Hope of Raising a Special Needs Child.

You have my love and compassion always. You are one of the most amazing, understanding, truly present mothers I know.

Now, 'scuse me, I've got to go order that book....

Congratulations. I'll be looking for the book immediately.

I doubt that any parent who has followed your blog will judge you harshly.

Enjoy the new home, the new city, the new writing room. We look forward to wonderful new pieces.

Wow Michelle! Congrats babe! When I have time again, I will pick it up.

Now they need a book for moms who lose it, who don't have special needs kids. Just 'cause we are soooo not perfect all the time. *sigh*
