Finding Me Series

Finding Me Book One

When three-year-old Joey is diagnosed with autism, Kat’s heart sinks. With a single phone number and a few suggested therapies, she and her husband Derek are left to wade through the unknown abyss of ASD. Derek assures Kat their son will grow out of it, but she has done enough research. That never happens. Still, Joey can improve, and Kat vows to make his life better any way she can.

Jumping feet first into the depths of therapies and developmental preschool, Kat gives it her all. Everything should get easier. But Derek still can’t handle Joey’s meltdowns, and now he only wants to spend time with her. What happens if his attitude doesn’t change?

As Kat’s world continues to crumble around her, she finds something in herself that she didn’t know was missing.

Finding Me Book Two

I NOT Buddy Cover

Three years after being abandoned by her then-husband, Kat works at the middle school across the street from her son’s elementary school. It’s the perfect place to care for Joey while giving him space. Still, first grade and autism have their struggles.

Praises

“[I] recommend [this book] to anyone looking for vivid writing, layered, interesting characters, and a story that’s original, moving, and compelling.” J.A. Martinez

“Beautiful conclusion to a journey of a mother and her child. It is a story of dealing with deep hurts, healing, forgiveness, and hope. Though the central characters are the mother and her son Joey, every character is richly multi-dimensional. Each has flaws and strengths. I found myself cheering for and hoping for the person who in the first book had caused so much pain. This story also shows the love between siblings, and growing trust.” M.L. Farb, author
