Magazine 'An honest and unflinching account of Jessica's journey as

The Sun, 5 star review *** Jessica Moxham thought she was prepared
for the experience of motherhood. Armed with advice from friends
and family, parenting books and antenatal classes, she felt ready.
After giving birth, she found herself facing a different, more
uncertain reality. Her son, Ben, was fighting to stay alive. When
Jessica could finally take him home from hospital, the challenges
were far from over. In this hopeful memoir, Jessica shares her
journey in raising Ben. His disability means he will never be able
to move or communicate without assistance. Jessica has to learn how
to feed Ben when he can't eat, wrestle with red tape to secure his
education and defend his basic rights in the face of
discrimination. As Ben begins to thrive, alongside his two younger
siblings, Jessica finds that caring for a child with unique needs
teaches her about appreciating difference and doing things your own
way. This uplifting story is about the power of family love,
finding inner strength and, above all, hope.
