Hurry up, she thought, quickly bypassing the rest of the menu. The message began, her face turning ashen as she listened. She stopped and replayed the message from the beginning, hand trembling as she pushed each key. But there was no mistaking Dr. Schad's voice in the message she heard. It consisted of just two words - "Go ahead." And so begins the story of Jim and Sarah Knox, two individuals who make an extraordinary couple and are about to have their lives changed forever by a single cupcake. From the first Nolan Knockout to the last drop of Gringo Moreno, it's a love story wrapped in a mystery that'll keep you laughing throughout and have you racing to sign up for your own "Felines for Frederick's" program.

Revised and Updated - 2010 with new resources and dedications. In May, 1997, Randy and Helen Baldwin eagerly welcomed their third child, Jeffrey, as did his older siblings, Matthew and Katie. Jeffrey's arrival, unplanned but greatly anticipated, sparked a few adjustments in this family long removed from diaper duty, but Jeffrey was obviously a special gift. Eight weeks later, life took a completely unexpected downward spiral into the depths of despair when Jeffrey was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare, progressive genetic neuromuscular disease with deadly ramifications. The neurologist handed over the utterly devastating news that Jeffrey had a severe case of the most destructive form without a morsel of hope that anything could be done to thwart the effects of the killer disease. Faced with the nightmare that their baby was expected to die within two years and that there was no treatment or cure, Randy and Helen took their faith in God to a higher level and embarked on a quest to defy SMA and its stranglehold on their precious baby's life. They sought the expertise of alternative practitioners and relentlessly relied on prayers for Jeffrey's health and for strength, courage, and wisdom for themselves and their family. The Jeffrey Journey is the story of how one family - with friends and family, prayer, and God's grace - rose to the challenge of caring for a dying child as they also realized the countless blessings left by their angel.

Before her passing in 1989 at the age of 25, Tracy Armstrong fought a courageous battle against Spinal Muscular Atrophy, living her life the only way she knew how - with class and dignity. Though confined to a wheelchair, she took the time to write her witty and tender observations about her day-to-day life with SMA. Her book, "Tracy's Story - The Other Side of the Coin", was written by Tracy personally, each word originally typed on electric typewriter using a pencil, one letter at a time. It is a funny and heartwarming collection of stories from a woman who exemplified courage.

We are all born possessing identical common sense.  What differs is when, how or why we individually forget or ignore the age-old wisdom seated deep within. Common Sense is a collection of this wisdom and author Louise Smith gently reminds us that to live a life of peace, contentment and joy we must break open our memory banks.  Common Sense is the second book for Louise Smith, following the success of Death ... and The Lessons I Learned.

Jonathan Greeson was born in a small town in North Carolina in March of 1982. He was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy when his parents noticed he was dragging his legs when trying to crawl. They put Jonathan in a wheelchair and he hasn't stopped since! With great support from his family and friends he was able to graduate from North Carolina State University's College of Management where he majored in Business Management with a Finance Concentration. While in college he was a awarded an internship with the Carolina Hurricanes of the NHL. Using the knowledge gained from his internship and business courses, Jonathan founded the North Carolina Electric Wheelchair Hockey Association (NCEWHA), so that he and other disabled athletes could participate in the wonderful sport of hockey. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this work will go to the NCEWHA. My Online Angel is about a personal relationship between Jonathan and a young woman who unfortunately is no longer with us. Dating is a subject Jonathan really doesn’t often speak publicly about, but he felt as though he would be doing her an injustice to never tell their story. As he was writing it, it became an outlet that he hopes will help others when trying to date with a disability. He tries to answer all the questions that people are afraid to ask because of our “politically correct” society. Therefore, it is written in a very conversational tone and some of the comments may be a little PG-13, but they are necessary to really help the reader understand his thoughts and feelings. The book also became a self-help book, which he hopes we all can benefit from.
