About Tracy:
Tracy is a wife and mother of three children. When her oldest child was born, he was diagnosed with L1CAM syndrome. This included a multitude of other complex medical issues as well as a world of change in their lives. Tracy and her husband had to completely re-evaluate life and had to determine what was truly important. Tracy decided it was best to quit her job and care for her son full-time. Through all of the ups and downs, she feels she has found her true calling through writing. Through her writing, she wants to bring awareness to the challenges that her son faced throughout his short life. She also wants to bring to light the great and wonderful love that her son gave to many people and to let other know that regardless of disability, they are not alone.
