Bryan Sawyer, LIVE! with Kelly Top Teacher Award recipient: "Chasing Lilly is an eye-opening look into the world of mental illness from the prospective of a parent. Her harrowing tales make it easy to forget that Lilly is a real girl. As an educator, I would recommend this book to anyone who works with individuals with emotional disturbances." Foster W.

I have read your fascinating book, Chasing Lilly. I found it to be so enlightening, and hope it becomes a classic reference work for prospective foster and adoptive parents."

This should be required reading for anyone caring for or treating traumatized children . . . What a wonderful story.
