Reblogged this on Write of Passage and commented:
Trophies aside, Libby earned a writing award for a truly touching book titled “My Year with Sammy.” In a “kitchen table chat” way, a story unfolds about living with a child diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. You will laugh, cry, experience heartbreak and joy and everything in between as you share the challenges of life with a special needs child.
Congratulations, Libby!
