About the author

Sandra Peoples loves to write. A writing contest sponsored by Ebony/Jet Magazine in the late 80's helped assure Sandra that she could definitely be a writer. A paper she wrote for her high school English class containing a Post-it note saying, 'This is really good; you should get this published', only gave her more affirmation. Since 2005 Sandra has been blazing a path to make her dreams come true with her pen and a computer. From her stories of fiction, to the content she writes online, she uses the power of the written word to change lives, inspire, motivate and entertain. When she is not writing, she is teaching others how to step out with their gifts and talents in pursuit of their own dreams. Sandra hails from Flint, Michigan, and is mom to two girls, Jashimbra and Aaliyah.

Reviews

[Leah]

Great study that encompasses raising a child with special needs. This would be a great book to read together with other parents of special needs children.

I really enjoyed this devotional. I recommend any parent with an Autistic or disabled child to read and fill in this devotional. Refocuses on the love God has for us and our child. We do not walk the path alone, for God knows us and our child and our struggles.
