After many hours pouring over drafts, making changes and agonizing if it was perfect (well, it isn't, and really nothing is), I hit the approval button and "The Purple Notebook" is completed!
I cannot express how I felt with those two covers firmly grasped between my hands, it reminded me of how I felt with each new baby that I held in my arms. Our story is told, it needed to be told.
I think it was part of my process in dealing with my son's Autism and also assuring other parents and caregivers that it isn't easy and that some things work, and some things do not work.
I am proud of those pages, each word, each new paragraph and Aidan's quotes that make is so real to me, to everyone.

I am glad that after the many rejections or simply no responses from publishers, I went the self-publishing route. I cannot thank my editor and friend, Theodore Syrette enough for his love, his encouragement and his corrections.
Enjoy it my readers!
