About the Author

This is not my first book by a long stretch but is the one I care most about. My latest book tells the story of the amazing Livvy Meredith who would not be defined by Rett Syndrome. This is a cause very close to my heart. Huge thanks must go to top-selling author Maj Chris Hunter for his very kind words written in the foreword. All royalties are going to the charity, Reverse Rett. Please help these girls by purchasing this inspirational story and writing a review
