Отрывок из книги
This book is dedicated to the underdogs in life who struggle to be accepted and understood. It’s also dedicated to their families and their teachers who reach out and say, “We appreciate you.”
My three previous books are memoirs and I enjoyed writing them immensely. I never considered venturing into fiction, until I met and was inspired by my young friend, Annabel, who was born with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Together, we created Belle’s character that bears no resemblance to Annabel. While there is no correlation between the two, she was instrumental in helping me understand some of the struggles an individual goes through in living with the disorder. Without question, we could not have written this story without the enormous help and encouragement from Annabel’s parents and sister. Many thanks to each of you.
