Now\, Kate shares her inspiring story in this powerful memoir about motherhood and unconditional love \nWhen Kate Swenson’s son Cooper was diagnosed with severe\, nonverbal autism\, her world stopped. She had always dreamed of having the perfect family life. She hadn’t signed up for life as a mother raising a child with a disability. \nAt first\, Kate experienced the grief of broken dreams. Then she felt the frustration and exhaustion of having to fight for your child in a world that is stacked against them. But through hard work\, resilience and personal growth\, she would come to learn that Cooper wasn’t the one who needed to change. She was. And it was this transformation that led Kate to acceptance–and ultimately joy. In Forever Boy\, Kate shares her inspiring journey with honesty and compassion\, offering solace and hope to others on this path and illuminating the strength and perseverance of mothers. \nAbout the Author:\nAn important note about your tickets: \nTo expedite the check-in process\, please have your ticket(s) with the QR code(s) pulled up on your phone or printed out when you come to the event.
