When "Journey With Jeff" was newly published I asked an associate professor at a Center on Developmental
Disabilities if it would be a good resource for their Medical school. He told me that a mom who works at their
national headquarters had been asked to review it. Last week he wrote that the Review's not here yet, but this is what she said,: "Bill, I have read the book, and was deeply touched by it. The context for raising a child into young adulthood has changed some since she wrote the book...but then again, some things are the same. People still age out of the system when they leave public school, and we still have not figured out how to invest as a community in the supports they need to be employed and contributing as they could. So I will let those kinds of thoughts settle out before offering a review."~~~I am hoping that that mom sees the value of the thoughts and feelings and hope expressed in "Journey With Jeff," and the important message that caregivers of people with special needs do NOT need to feel ALONE! Gracious God, direct and bless her settling thoughts. Thank You!
