This note and this child spark a transformative 12-year journey of renewed faith and friendship for both women their second stage of growing up. With humor and heart, the coauthor friends tell a dual tale of the angst and joys of raising a child with a disability, of the power of women friendship, and of Cate s funny and poignant early years. Readers will come to embrace the spirited child, whose love for her robe, her lemons, and getting her way, comes above all else.
