Born with severe brain defects, Suzy was sentenced to a life of “nevers.” Her miraculous journey has led many experts to question existing medical textbooks. Predicting that she would never walk, talk, or function in society, she overcame all these obstacles with determination and perseverance. Her IQ score identified Suzy with severe intellectual disabilities, but she proceeded through infant stimulation, studies in public and specialized schools, and summer programs geared to the disabled community. Her achievements include winning medals during the Tournament of Champions, performing in a dance recital, celebrating a Bat Mitzvah, living independently, and working as a classroom assistant for the past twenty-three years. Her joy of life offers us hope while showing us that giving up is not a choice. This book is not just a tribute to Suzy but a roadmap for all parents experiencing the challenges of raising a child with disabilities and/or medical issues. Told with the hope that other parents will learn from her successes and failures, this is a story of the power of perseverance, courage, and love. janemfischer.com
