Helene VandelooIt has always been my dream to write a novel for a younger audience. I have worked with, and supported adults with physical and developmental challenges for twenty-three years. I witnessed first hand the distain and discrimination they endured on a dily basis. These individuals were labelled as "retards', 'gimps' 'vegetables' and not worthy of any attention. I preferred to see them as individuals who needed our love and support. I am retired now and have two lovely granddaughters Abby and Riley. I dedicate this story to them. My dream of penning Gracie's journey has come to fruition.
