“Flynn was diagnosed when she was three...  At the time she was said to be moderate to low functioning.  Her IQ was scaled at retardation level.  At the time we were devastated but with aggressive early childhood intervention look what can be accomplished.  She has come a long way...how fortunate we are to have you along for the ride.”

~Freda

Flynn’s mother

“...this book succeeds on several levels.  It is a story which should interest children, and it contains much useful information for adults.  I especially like the fact that although Flynn clearly has serious issues with new situations and experiences, there is no feeling conveyed of her being ‘handicapped’ or ‘different’. The matter-of-fact approach is so refreshing.”

“I particularly enjoyed the book moving through time…how a child needs time and perseverance to conquer their fears—starting with just one toe in the water to a lifelong enjoyment of the water.  …so much more...than a simple story of success...tools that actually work and perspectives that are clear…”
