In Looking for Caylie, author Misty Wolf takes you inside her journey as she fights to discover the cause of Caylie’s rapid cognitive regression and mental health deterioration. Wolf bravely challenges traditional IEP narratives in education by dismantling the school vs. parents mentality, and establishing that each team member was on Caylie’s side. This authentic and raw account of Caylie and Misty‘s struggle in navigating the US medical system, and disability support, reminds us that we are not alone in our journey.
“A gripping story of the love of a mother who will stop at nothing to get answers the health of her daughter, in the face of professionals who keep turning them away.”

Interesting blend of genre.
ReplyDeletePerhaps if enough is published about the difficulties as well as successes of the educational, medical, and disability support systems, enough people will become involved enough to make certain that they become at least adequate, which all too many are not at present.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely book cover art-- I can't wait to give this a read! Thanks so much for sharing.
