Scotty and Me

By Carol Blake

This tragic true story chronicles the life of a boy who has a catastrophic accident at the age of fourteen leaving him in a resultant state that is the stuff of nightmares.
It is the story of his single mother who is devastated, alone and so full of grief she fights a daily battle to not let it consume her.
This is the story of abandonment.
It is the story of persistence during years of no end in sight.
It is the story of a boy who over the years turns into a man and never recovers.
This is a story that is painful and sad, with no happy ending.
This is a story that this mother felt necessary to tell in the hope of finding peace and acceptance.

Reviews for Scotty and Me

[Kat Eichacker · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I cannot imagine the pain and struggle the author went through for thirty years. I likewise can't conceive of the travel opportunities she was afforded. One thing that bothered me was her consistent references to her grandsons as "fatherless boys"; wasn't Scotty also fatherless, past a certain point? Did her grandsons not grow into decent men, despite their "fatherless" state?
