Visions

Janie P. Bess, author of VISIONS, has written a remarkable book about the Bess family. At times you become so overwhelmed with emotions that you can't help but cry; and then in the next few moments, you'll be laughing aloud. Divorce, single parenting, step parents, sibling rivalries and a special needs child are some of the tribulations that are encountered. But through the grace of God, we watch as the Bess family overcomes. VISIONS is a must read by all! Reviewed by: Carmen

Visions is a novel-length memoir about raising her oldest child, David, who was born deaf and later suffered permanent blindness. Struggling as a young, close-knit military family, Janie discusses the struggles they endured to overcome David's disabilities. She also tells the reader about the many prejudices they encountered in trying to get services for a deaf and blind child when society was not yet politically correct in handling disabled children. Janie tells a compelling story and motivates mothers to step out on faith, while trying to help your child make it in a tough society.

Visions is a very uplifting,inspirational and motivating work. It causes one to think as far as handicap limitations. It also, shows what one can accomplish with your family behind you. Kudos to Mrs. Bess I wish more mothers were inspiratational like you. I look forward to reading future works by this author. Sistaz N Motion Project Coordinator Yvonne Allen
