Why Manda Mosher’s ‘Cold Cold Love’ Warms Our Hearts

One Mom’s One-Story-At-A-Time Mission

But his brain is wired differently. He is autistic. The kids at school thought he was weird, so they teased and taunted him, and never invited him over to play.

Inspirational Mom: Jodi Murphy of Geek Club Books
This week we are featuring mom Jodi Murphy who is quite inspirational in that she is creating a book and storybook app from characters that her son dreamed up.
