A Mother's Assurance
I was inspired to write "A Mother's Assurance" because I remember how insecure I was about my appearance as a child. Like many others, I was teased in school. This promoted me to feel inferior and even dislike the person God created me to be. I felt my lips were too big (I used to hold them in), my legs were too long and my forehead was huge. Even more devastating was the body images that were labeled "beautiful" which looked nothing like mine. With time and reassurance from my mother; I learned I was in fact beautiful just as I was. I learned God created me to look the way I did and that meant I was already perfect! Once I realized this I began to feel happy and free. I could not keep this good news to myself. I had to share it. When our children believe they are beautiful, irrespective of their kinky hair, long arms, wide nose etc., the more accepting and loving they will view themselves.
Am I Special Too?
This true story begins with a young girl growing up with her older sister, Stephanie, who was born with Down Syndrome. When Jennifer was young she didn't notice much difference between herself and Stephanie but as she grew older she started to develop feelings that she didn't know how to handle.

Together, they are able to create a gateway into the life of the often silent sibling in this seemingly rare situation. It's the author's hope that the family or sibling of someone with any kind of special need, will be able to come to terms with their feelings. It may not be today, tomorrow or even a year from now but eventually they will be at peace, just as Jennifer is with her family and her sister.

What if we chose to live differently: to stand against injustice, to live life for more than just ourselves, to dare to be unpopular?
