Rent Better Than OK: Finding Joy as a Special Needs Parent

Synopsis

"Every day is joyful. Every day is a gift. Every day I can thank God from the bottom of my heart." Kelly Mantoan wasn't always able to say these words. As a mother of five children, two with profound disabilities, all her energy and attention was focused on her children's diagnoses and round-the-clock care. Drained and struggling, Kelly wondered if she had what it took to be the kind of parent they needed. She craved support as a Catholic mother with special-needs children but felt lost and alone when she tried to rely on secular support groups or well-meaning but inexperienced friends and family. If you can relate to Kelly's story, Better Than OK is the hope-filled book you need. In her down-to-earth way, Kelly shares the steps parents need to take to shift their focus away from the negatives of a diagnosis and toward acceptance, renewed faith, and joy.
