Summary
Details

Having a child with a unique disability is a lonely road to navigate. There are very few resources available to prepare parents for the path ahead. The stresses of medical and therapy appointments foreshadow feelings of isolation, envy, guilt and worry locked within the loving hearts of parents who just want their children to lead a normal everyday life. In Finding Millie's Voice, Donna Emery describes the journey from birth to adulthood of her daughter, Millie, expressing deep thoughts, challenges and surprise insights she learnt along the way. Millie's story is a testament of hope and resilience, demonstrating the battle many parents face to forge a new path of belonging, inclusion, and advocacy for their child. ""Millie deserves a book dedicated to her, the beautiful girl she is, her struggles and accomplishments, her quirky laugh and everything that is Millie.""

Yanette Hansen ""This book takes you on a rollercoaster journey of emotions. Donna Emery describes the everyday demands and anxiety of a high risk pregnancy when living with Type 1 diabetes, compounded by the subsequent trauma of the premature birth of her first-born daughter, Millie. This, however, is only the beginning of the story. What unfolds can only be expressed as an inspiring story of persistence and dedication by Millie's parents, to advocate for her from her very first breath, as the extent of her complex disabilities were revealed. Their ongoing perseverance, at every stage of Millie's development, despite setback after setback, weaves a story of love, strength and belief in Millie to find her place and voice in the world.""
