The book will encourage your heart and perhaps change your perspective regarding your caregiving life. Visit her website at sandrapeoples.com

Hiya Moriah by Victoria Nelson. I love this book for many reasons, not the least of which is the way Victoria gives equal time to her daughter Moriah’s favorite rainbow dress, pink bow, curly hair, and her disability. To read more about Hiya Moriah, check out Victoria’s Different Dream author interview. The book is available on Amazon in paperback, hard cover, and Kindle formats.

Sharing Love Abundantly in Special Needs Families: The 5 Love Languages® for Parents Raising Children with Disabilities by Dr. Gary Chapman and Jolene Philo. You didn’t expect me to leave this one off the list, did you? It’s included not because I helped write it, but because I have heard from reader after reader about how beneficial is is for them and their family members. It’s available in paperback and Kindle formats.
