BETTER THAN OKAY - Finding Joy as a Special-Needs Parent
— Kelly Mantoan
"Every day is joyful. Every day is a gift. Every day I can thank God from the bottom of my heart."Kelly Mantoan wasn’t always able to say these words. As a mother of five children, two with profound disabilities, all her energy and attention was focused on her children’s diagnoses and round the clock care. Drained and struggling, Kelly wondered if she had what it took to be the kind of parent they needed. She craved support as a Catholic mother with special-needs children, but felt lost and alone when she tried to rely on secular support groups or well-meaning friends and family who had no experience in the special-needs community.
If you can relate to Kelly’s story, Better Than OK: Finding Joy with Special-Needs Children is the hope-filled book you need today. In her down-to-earth way, Kelly shares the steps parents need to take to shift their focus away from the negatives of a diagnosis and towards acceptance, renewed faith, and joy.
