Publisher's Synopsis
The incidents in Don't Call Me Honey! Call Me Cherry Pie all happened to the author's youngest son, who has a mild intellectual disability. "I've written this book for a number of reasons. Mostly to share the often frustrating, infuriating and upsetting things that do happen when a member of the family has an intellectual disability, and to emphasise how a good sense of humour and positive attitude can help with coping," says E.C. Knox. She adds, "No matter how bad things get, seeing the amusing side of things can put it all in perspective." Her collection of incidents are written in a way that will relate to most parents who have had to deal with a child's learning disability. She emphasizes that things that seemed very important and serious at the time, "are really very funny on reflection." Don't Call Me Honey! Call Me Cherry Pie will resonate with readers and show that there's always a silver lining. E.C. Knox dedicates this book to all the people over the years who have told her, "You should write a book!" A native of Bendigo, Australia, she says, "I wrote this particular book to give insight to living with a member of your family having a disability, and to share the importance of good humour, patience and tolerance needed when raising children." She is now working on her next book. Publisher's website: http: //www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/DontCallMeHoneyCallMeCherryPie.html
