At age 24, I decided to tell my story. Writing this autobiography gave me the opportunity to pay tribute to my family members who are passionate about life and have instilled this passion in me. My parents’ extraordinary support, encouragement and pure love were my foundation as I navigated life, overcame obstacles and achieved successes as a young woman with cerebral palsy (CP).

I have to pay full tribute to my mother, who died in August 2010. From her, I learned to listen to my own voice as a guide to making life choices. She taught me to always expect the best from myself.

My hope is that this book will provide insight into the extraordinary possibilities that those who live with disabilities have. I also hope that those without disabilities – rather than putting a focus on our differences – will come to understand what we all have in common. This book is for my mom, with love.

And finally, after thirty years, a reunification causes the most intense love affair I could have ever imagined and taught me the lessons in life, I had all but forgotten.

In the end, is “true love” worth a second chance even if it means a tragic end? The answer is an emphatic YES!

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Love’s True Second Chance?

Jeff Dawson: The inspiration came from her daughters. Debbie never talked about her times in high school. Her girls thought it would be a nice Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Jeff Dawson, author of Love’s True Second Chance →
