I believe in the interconnectedness of life.Circumstances tell stories, and in moments of clarity we can sometimes unravel their meaning.I’ve learned to pay attention because God speaks in mysterious ways.

The Road Less Typical

Adventures in National Parks with Neurodivergent Children

Against the backdrop of some of North America's most iconic landscapes, THE ROAD LESS TYPICAL is a search for meaning in autistic identity and the balance between protection and risk-taking when raising vulnerable children. Life on the road intensifies everything and is a recipe for sensory overwhelm, sibling conflict, marital strain, emotional reckoning, and spiritual transformation. When one child stops speaking English and another develops OCD, a near-fatal case of COVID strikes, and an RV fire erupts in the middle of the night, it's clear the journey is far more than the destinations - but an opportunity to discover how to live and love authentically every day.

The Voice of an Ostrich

A picture book for little listeners.

A tender true story about a family discovering that communication is bigger than speech — and that there are countless ways to say, "I love you." Touching on the themes of alternative communication, neurodivergence, emotional intelligence, and family adaptation; this book is written for children whose first language isn't words, and to help young readers expand their understanding of what it means to speak.
