Thursday, January 26, 2012. Early Advocacy Made the Difference. As the mother of three young children, I figured I’d seen it all from ADHD, tonsillitis, surgeries, colds, and runny noses. I was wrong. CJ was born on a crisp November day in 2003, two weeks earlier than expected, and with a true knot in his umbilical cord. He should not have survived. CJ was officially diagnosed with Apraxia of Speech. CJ had lots to say. He only needed help finding his voice. The most important message I have through CJ&#...

Oasis for YA: TBR Tuesday: Some Quiet Place
http://oasisforya.blogspot.com/2013/06/tbr-tuesday-some-quiet-place.html
OUR COVERS AND TRAILERS. Tuesday, June 25, 2013. TBR Tuesday: Some Quiet Place. I have to admit, the first thing that grabbed me about SOME QUIET PLACE was the cover. That's right, I'm a cover. But then I read the synopsis, and some of the advanced reviews, and I really thought I'd have to get my hands on this book when it releases on July 8th. What do you think? I can’t feel sadness, anger, or fear. I can’t feel anything. I’ve grown talented at pretending. Tuesday, June 25, 2013. Labels: some quiet place.
