Trust Life's Journey - new book
The struggles and triumphs of living with a boy with disabilities
Nicola Clark has written an honest and at times raw and
emotional account of her journey with her son Thomas.
Nicola shares the highs and lows of living with a boy with
disabilities. This inspiring book will invoke many different
emotions. The book has been written to assist others
facing similar situations or those who often ask, why me?
when things don’t go to plan. This book will at times
make you laugh, cry, empathise, be astounded and
humbled as you share the experience of a mother’s inner
strength, knowing and love for her inspiring and
courageous son, Thomas. Contact Nicola for a $25.00
