Empathy Belonging Acceptance

Meet Beth

I'm a nurse, a mom of three, and someone who writes stories for the kids (and grown-ups) who need to hear: You're not broken. You're exactly right.

My daughter Teighan was born with Down syndrome, and watching her navigate a world that doesn't always understand difference taught me something: we need more stories that honor uniqueness with warmth and truth.

So that's what I write. Stories that feel like a hand to hold. Stories that whisper, "Me too."
