Über den Autor
Mary Anne Ehlert is uniquely enthusiastic about the potential that all human beings possess to make things better simply by passionately caring. This is an attitude she learned a long time ago by taking an active interest in the welfare of Marcia, her younger sister. Marcia was born with disabilities due to cerebral palsy, but she had a great sense of humor and love of life. Mary Anne found that her own life was as enriched by their close relationship. This led her to the realization that people need to feel needed, that people need to be independent, and that passion is the life force that has the power to drive us all. Inspired by this knowledge and the desire to make a difference, Mary Anne now directs her energies to helping families like her own who have relatives with special needs, whether that individual is a child, sibling, parent.
