Threads of a Tapestry is a memoir of Laura Miller’s life: living a seemingly idyllic childhood; raising her first-born son with significant special needs, and how the Lord equipped her through this season until his death; and journeying through the triumphs and challenges of adopting five children out of foster care. Included are practical tips for raising children who suffer from depression, autism, Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), and other issues adoptive children face. Laura recounts “altar moments” of personal surrender, as when one of her daughters displayed signs of leukemia, and another daughter was critically injured in an auto accident. She reveals how God was at work through each challenge. Laura weaves in poignant vignettes from her family life and her career experiences as a pediatric nurse. This book is written for all and is especially meaningful for a parent of a special-needs child, one in the throes of raising children in foster care or through adoption. This story is raw and real, yet full of hope and encouragement.
