Growing Up Special (Paperback)

When Rhea Mayfield was born, her doctors believed she would never be able to walk or to talk. As a baby, when she wasn't crawling at the stage she should have been, the fact she was suffering from a severe learning disability gradually became clear. However, much more than having a disability, Rhea was, and is, a very determined person who has overcome many obstacles in her life. Rhea has blossomed into the most loving, caring, and well-intentioned individual you could ever meet. All she wants is to be loved and treated like a normal person. Rhea has had a dream of becoming an author; and with uncommon pluck and determination is working hard and striving to achieve that dream. This book is her start. In sharing her story within the powerful and heartfelt pages of GROWING UP SPECIAL, you will meet this extraordinary woman, and find inspiration in her story of triumph over adversity. It is Rhea's hope that you will enjoy it, and come away with the message that disabilities and adversities can be overcome, and that dreams can become reality. If you want to understand her, Rhea says you have to read her book and treat her right.
