Only a Stone's Throw: Raising our mentally disabled daughter

By Erin O'Donoghue Thompson

In Only a Stone's Throw Erin O'Donoghue Thompson recounts her quest for a good life for her daughter, Stephanie, brain damaged by a rock from an unknown source.
This is a story of a family and friends pulling together
to protect and guide Stephanie.

What happens when a rock flies out of the blue and strikes your beloved baby in the head, leaving her permanently disabled? For Erin Thompson, such a rock brought years of dashed hopes and heartbreak, and hard-won knowledge about limited resources for treatment.
Thompson has written an inspirational book about life with her first-
born child, and the choices she, as a mother, has been forced to make. The support of her husband and their 7 other children has helped see her through.
This is a book that speaks volumes to every parent facing challenges, some of them lifelong and horrific.
