[Steve Yeoman]

I'm Cushla's dad, and I'm ever humbled that Dorothy's book about her has continued to help people who are in the same situation as we were back then. She's a wonderful woman, that Dorothy.

Cushla's wonderful too, and she gets a great kick out of people finding her on Facebook, so if you enjoyed the book drop her a line - she'll love it.

This book tells a great story, which is true. Cushla was born with learning disabilities - to say the least, but her parents faithfully read aloud to her and over time she was able to conquer and recover from severe problems. It is a testament to the power of reading aloud to children.

I found this a moving motivational read. I've always believed in the power of reading aloud and often with children, but this gave me a shot of steel.

Amazon Book Description:
This book describes how a mother turned to children's books as a source of comfort and help when her first child, Cushla, was born with what appeared to be an unrelated list of handicaps.
