"If You Knew Suzy: Pushing Past the Boundaries of Never" -- A Mother's Love Letter to Her Disabled Child in a New Book

LIVINGSTON, N.J., Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A new book by the mother of a disabled woman gives a whole new meaning to the word never.

"If You Knew Suzy: Pushing Past the Boundaries of Never," (September 2024, G&D Media) by Jane Fischer is the heartwarming story of Suzy, now 50. (Suzy has Joubert syndrome, a rare disorder affecting the brain and the body.)

The book tells the story of being born with brain defects, sentenced to a life of "nevers." With the support of her family, Suzy's miraculous journey gave experts reason to question medical textbooks.

From predictions that she would never function in society, she overcame these obstacles —not even renal failure at age 24 deterred her. This book is a tribute to Suzy and a roadmap for parents raising disabled children or with any medical challenges.

Suzy proceeded through infant stimulation, and studying in programs for the disabled. Her achievements include performing a dance recital, becoming Bat Mitzvah, living independently, and working as a classroom assistant for 23 years.

This is a story of the power of perseverance, courage, and love as Suzy never ceases to show kindness, empathy, selflessness, and compassion.
