A story about the power of love and the importance of remembering that those with disabilities should not be defined by them.
An absorbing read in which the author’s knowledge and research of learning disabilities always ensures an authentic voice.
an enthralling story of resolve and grit... a moving and uplifting novel.
Passionate and inclusive, it’s a compelling quest for love and independence.
Darbon’s portrayal of Rosie and Jack is bright with emotional connection. The language comes over as authentic, and took me on Rosie’s journey inside her head, not as an onlooker, but someone looking at the world from the inside out.
