Several years ago, I began writing stories about my parenting journey. It has been an incredible blessing, but it has also come with some challenges - the loss of a daughter, a son with autism, and time as a stay-at-home dad.
I've shared some of those essays here on Texags and amongst friends. After years of encouragement to put them into a book, I've finally drafted one.
Before it goes to a professional editor, I'd like a handful of pre-readers (beta-testing). I have a few friends who are doing this for me, but they all know our family and are reading it with more context and connection than the general public. I need some unbiased opinions.
So I am looking for a few folks who don't know me to give me feedback on what resonates, what doesn't, which chapters they think don't fit, or possibly if they should be rearranged in a different order.

I know it's a big ask, but if anybody is interested in giving it a shot, I'd appreciate the help. And if you start it and decide to tap out along the way, that is valuable information and appreciated, too.
If you are interested, send me a message or let me know an email address to send you the full draft.
If you have other questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
