We settled into our chairs at a local coffee shop, sipping coffee as we met for the first time. I had read Heather Amos’ book, “I’m Not OK,” and had a broader appreciation and insight into the painful and lonely reality many parents face when their children have special needs.
I had questions for this young author. How did you decide to write a book? How do you manage the frustration of trying to care for yourself? Your spouse? Your other children?
Why did she write a book? “Really, I just got mad,” she said.
Her mother suggested that she find a way to explain what she and many parents experienced.
