Dana’s Legacy-From Heartbreak to Healing is autobiographical as well as a book of hope for people in pain. A mother’s inspirational story of her first child born with cerebral palsy, Dana’s Legacy takes readers on a journey from tragedy to triumph. Dana’s Legacy is about turning negatives into positives, about a life well lived in unexpected ways.
Although the book focuses primarily on disability, there is something for everyone to learn about coping and dealing with life’s challenges. Traumatic experiences are not necessarily failures.
