A beautiful story about Alex and all the lessons he teaches his Mother. Reading this book during the pandemic, I was even able to apply some of the lessons to myself and my outlook during tough times. Even though Alex is not yet able to speak, Nancy gives Alex a voice at the end of every chapter. You really can’t go wrong with this book.. it’s an uplifting story with valuable lessons for life.

What a candid, painful, yet beautiful recounting of the moments after her third son was born. The author’s honesty is so touching and unexpected. And I loved the lessons she learned from Alex, and how she has given a voice to Alex. What an amazing mother, with three incredible sons!
