Voiceless - Spencer's Story

Before me are the four loves of my life. My husband and three children. Their silhouettes are dancing against the setting sun and the waves crash onto the sand. My life was complete--my childhood dream, a reality. It was the calm before the storm.

"Angie Something is really wrong with Spencer." My dad said calmly, but the shadows lining his face gave him away. Spencer was chest deep in the hot tub, his body was stiff and shaking violently. His eyes rolled back in their sockets and saliva dripped down his chin. Breathe Angie, I told myself, Breathe

Imagine watching your child be ravaged by an unseen enemy. How does a family put the pieces back together when the status quo has changed forever?

Spencer's courage touches us at a depth far beyond our own understanding. His warrior like spirit and supernatural relationship with God teaches us to never, never give up.

"Those who have a voice, must speak for the VOICELESS."

"Voiceless left me breathless. My anticipation for what could possibly have taken the voice of such a vivacious and deep thinker kept me turning the pages. What a courageous story I look forward to reading more from this talented writer, maybe voiceless can become the voices of many who have also endured this journey." Oriana Samara

"Sometimes as a nurse I feel embarrassed at the unnecessary pain caused by the catalogue of bewildering experiences patients and their families encounter during tense and frightening periods of hospitalization. Not only wil this be a great support for parents of special needs children but also thought provoking and challenging for those professionals involved in their care. Especially during the acute phase of onset and deterioration. A brave author indeed " Gill Scott (UK)

"Angela is the real deal Having walked the road most parents would be terrified to walk, she brings hope, perspective and insight. She invites you into a very personal journey, shedding light and showing beauty in the midst of unimaginable circumstances. This is a remarkable story of courage and hope for anyone who has a special needs child " Leanne Cabral (Canada)
