most. - Victoria Deasy, M.S. Special Education Teacher, California

Chancer found love in the arms of a boy who needed a good friend. -
Rachel "Donnie Kanter Winokur's passion in building awareness of
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) has helped many and opened
eyes to professionals working with persons with this brain damage.
Donnie utilized her pre-adoption professional skills in founding
NOFAS - Georgia and developing statewide and national awareness. It
is a privilege to work beside her. Her role as service dog handler
for Chancer for her son has moved mountains and opened doors for
other children with FASD." - Jodee Kulp Visit Chancer at

Winner Mom's Choice Best Young Adult Fiction 2009 Best Adult
Fiction 2009 Updated in 2011 and revised for high school based
curriculum studies.
There's a crime bigger than just one murder. A fast paced novel
introduces a dark world secret. For those in the know this serial
killing is 100% preventable.
From Midwest Reviewer's Bookwatch "The first of series, The
Whitest Wall is a book that reading groups will gobble up and
educators can count on The Whitest Wall to keep the attention of
their students while they learn."
Jodee Kulp has created a new third-person Catcher in the Rye,
capturing the chaotic turmoil of culturally-muddled
miscommunication and FAS brain fog of lost-boy Kevin, a 21-year-old
going-on-ten jailed for murder, seemingly by his own matter-of-fact
confession. The Whitest Wall is a worthy read, a trip into a novel
world, written with entertainment quality as vivid as a screenplay
with a multitude of metaphors for interpretation and meaning. This
tantalizing tale should engage youthful readers and provoke
discussion among those of high-school age and older. Caulfield,
move over, there is much more to tell
I was born an addict and ever since I was tiny I have overdone,
overlooked or overwhelmed myself. I was born with fetal alcohol
spectrum disorders, otherwise known as FASD. That means my mom
drank while I was trying to grow in her stomach and because of her
drinking some of my parts got mixed up and didn't grow too well. My
differences are hidden and that's a real pain, because it is easy
to judge a person by what you see. The most difficult parts of my
life are caused from my brain which was probably the most affected.
I have trouble learning new things and I live in a world that is
louder, softer, harder, scratchier, noisier, shakier, slippery and
more chaotic than most of the people reading this. I want you to
imagine what it is like to feel the seams of your socks, the label
on your clothes, the flicker of fluorescent lights, the mumblings
and rumblings of every noise around you, and then try to learn new
things. Overwhelming. Yes, that is what it is often for me. My
mom's drinking ripped away who I was to be and helped create who I
am today and what I am able to be. If she had known how it would
change my life I bet she would have made a different choice. But
she didn't, and we can't change how things are. I am as I am. I
can't even talk to her about it. She's dead. I was a foster baby
and then adopted. ... I had to fail first in order to succeed. And
I failed over, and over, and over again. ... I am just one of
hundreds of thousands of people whose lives are affect each year by
alcohol consumption before breathing your first breath of air. For
those of you who were not pickled before birth, who believe you are
wiser than I am, I ask you to take my thoughts and use your brains
to make a difference.
