Found Just as I Am: A Novel Based on True Tales

For fifty years, a disabled man stood faithfully beside his mother. She was his moral compass, his safety net, the force that held his world in place. But now the ground beneath him trembles as Georgia's strength fades away. As the future narrows, David remains at the center-his inner life rich and expansive even as the space around him grows smaller. His sister, Christina, once meant to help shoulder his care, finds herself trapped by her own unraveling struggles. Love collides with limitation, and the roles they depended on change forever. This is a story of a life shaped by brain disability and carried by devotion that spans generations. As responsibility passes from one set of hands to another, grief arrives long before goodbye, and obligation settles where it was never meant to land. It becomes a test of endurance, reshaping everyone it touches.
