The first in a trilogy of three fictionalized novels about an adopted boy who overcomes many challenges.
Joshua is a tenacious young boy, who, like a lucky cat appears to live a charmed life by defying death on several occasions. His challenges began while he was still in his birth mother's womb. This is a story of survival, and the interracial adoption of an older, special needs child into a home with two loving and committed mothers.
Excerpt
"I've been told that I'm like a cat. People say that cats are lucky because they have nine lives. Somehow, they can survive eight brushes with death. If it's true that I'm like a cat, then I'm eighteen years old and already on life #5. My very existance is a miracle."
I am looking forward to reading this book. I teach special needs kids, as well as write about them, so this story is of particular interest to me. Nice testimonials too!
