Meredith and Me book by Sarah Barnes

When Sarah’s daughter Meredith was seven months old, she and her husband received a devastating diagnosis about Meredith’s brain. Although they faced many obstacles, their determined daughter helped them find hope and humor in the face of unthinkable challenge.

“It doesn’t trouble me that kids see Meredith as a student who needs an aide;
it troubles me when they don’t see her at all.”

 

—Sarah Barnes, author of Meredith & Me
