About the Book

A Walk with Liam is one mother’s raw, unapologetic description of raising a special needs child from conception to adulthood. It is filled with joy, despair, laughter, and soul-searching. Most of all, it is filled with honesty and hope.
The reader will be immersed in the world of the special needs family. They will share a mother’s triumphs and tragedies, as she navigates through the perplexing world of disabilities. Every misstep, every self-doubt, every failure, every victory, and every joy will be witnessed by the reader.
The book was written with the intent of helping newly diagnosed families overcome the daily struggles of raising a special needs child, without losing themselves in the process. The journey is challenging, exhausting, and rewarding. There are days when these parents don’t think they can go on, but they must, they can, and they will.
There is a reference section with websites for further information. The top ten pediatric hospitals are listed by ranking. A section on record keeping is provided to help families keep track of where they are in their own journey.
If this book helps one special needs family find the courage and strength to face another day, it has served its purpose.
