A book worth reading

Ok, so this blog isn't exactly all about being gluten free.  In fact, I suspect, it will increasingly become less about that, and more about what is going on in our lives.

This past weekend, I read the most wonderful book - Entitled, Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper. For you speechies, and special ed folks, this is MUST read.  It is fiction, but could very easily be a true story.

A very brief synopsis:  Melody is an 11 year old girl with cerebral palsy that has an amazing mind.  She understands just about everything in her world, and has a photographic memory.  But...she can't speak.  The book moves through Melody's story as she finds her voice, and learns to navigate the world of the "typical kids".

Read it and see for yourself.  :)

Then let me know what YOU think.  

You can find this on Amazon.com.  Try this link to order the book. 

Hope this post finds you all doing well. 

Love and hugs,
Sandra
