I've been an entrepreneur, a catastrophe claims adjuster, and now I write. Life, however, proves not to be so simple. Although I'm a wife and mother, those two titles don't fully define me. Linda Atwells debut memoir tells the beautiful, tumultuous coming-of-age story of her daughter with special needs, Lindsey. But when Lindsey graduates from Silverton High School at nineteen and gets a job at Goodwill, she also moves into a newly remodeled cottage in her parents’ backyard-and Linda believes that all their difficult times may finally be behind them. Linda Atwell and her strong-willed daughter, Lindsey-a high-functioning young adult with intellectual disabilities-have always had a complicated relationship.
