About the Book
Things always came easy to Judy
Foreman...until they just didn't anymore. After a series of
miscarriages, she and her husband David decide to adopt. At first,
Danny is the answer to her prayers, but as time goes on his needs
become all-consuming. Bent on saving him from the ravages of mental
illness, Judy suffers along with him as he slowly loses ground to
bi-polar disorder.
When Danny is
sent away to school, Judy tries to lose herself in her work as an
actress. Behind the scenes, she meets Shelley, the mother of a girl
with high-level autism. An otherworldly romance develops between the
children, poignantly capturing their struggle to belong. But as
Danny rushes toward a head-on collision with society, Judy is tested
beyond her limits, and her family is broken against the rule of law.
Alone,
lost, unable to cope, Judy sets out to make the world aware of the
injustices heaped upon her son. In the process come healing,
forgiveness, and a new beginning. Based on a true story, Mirror
Mirror deals with individuals lost in a maze of social expectations
and reflections.
