About the Author: Ms. King's happiness about her ability to help her son and daughter to recover has encouraged her to share the "recovery techniques" she used.

These books tell how she rebuilt her children's lives by helping them with skills that are necessary for coping, managing daily in-home routines, adhering to medical reminders, as well as the increasing joy she felt after each hurdle that marked their movement beyond illness. The experiences gained as the mother of children who are successfully recovering from illnesses, as well as being their full time caregiver, instructor and re-trainer, has enabled her to accumulate many years of expertise. Additionally, her prior experience as a trainer in the private sector has added necessary, unique tools for writing these books.
