I didn’t set out to write a book. I set out to understand my daughter. What began as a private journal in the quiet hours of grief became a journey of healing, growth, and grace. Autism, Sammy and I is not just our story — it’s a window into the world of many families silently walking this road. I wrote it to give voice to the emotions weoften hide, to celebrate the quiet victories, and to remind every parent that love, when relentless, can light up even the darkest detours. If you’ve ever felt alone, confused, or overwhelmed on your parenting journey, this book is for you. May it bring you hope, comfort, and the courage to keep going.
