moms with chronic illness

Lisa Copen is working on a book for moms with a chronic illness. She's looking for parenting tips for moms with problems such as limited mobility, constant exhaustion and limited transportation.

From Lisa:

If you have written a parenting book, please email me the name of it. If you have an interest in providing some quotes, let me know.

If you have friends who are parents with illness, I have set up a facebook page at http://momwithillness.com for them to help share their stories/experiences/confessions. Please feel free to pass that along.

rest@restministries.org is the best way to reach me!

Thanks in advance!
