Celebrating Autism

"Inner Riches is a deeply personal, raw, and emotionally charged retelling of the author’s grief-stricken journey after suffering an insurmountable loss. Through touching memories and detailed stories, Inner Riches not only offers a glimpse into a truly unique relationship between a mother and her daughter, but reminds us all that ‘letting go’ does not equate to ‘leaving behind’. This volume is a powerful read for anyone who has experienced significant loss, and an inspiring message for those whose experience of grief is yet to come."

Dr David-Jack Fletcher, Author and Academic
