Bound to Love: a memoir of grit and gratitude - Paperback

by Skye Blaine (Author)

My memoir, Bound to Love, won first prize in the Pacific Northwest Writers Association contest under the name Blood Bond.

Bound to Love is the true story of a single mother who encountered and navigated a complicated nightmare for any parent. My child, the only child I could ever bear--was born with a life-threatening congenital heart defect, and suffered a more brutal health diagnosis soon after. Walk with me as I birth the courage and grit to meet Thom's compounding challenges.

The memoir covers Thom's first twenty years as we confront prejudice, injustice, and a share of compassion as well. This is an important read for any parent who feels alone raising a child with complex disabilities.
