Book Club with Dr. Adwoa

"He comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God."

— 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

​

I remember the day I first understood that my son's path would look different from what I had imagined. In that moment, what I needed most wasn't another appointment, another packet of information, or another well-meaning stranger telling me it would be fine. What I needed was community — people who understood without needing it explained.

​

I didn't have that. So with my love for reading and spiritual fellowship,  I built it. 

​

This book club is the space I wished existed back then. A place to read, reflect, and be reminded that you are not walking this road alone — because God hasn't left you to walk it alone either. Each season, we gather around a single book — sometimes practical, sometimes reflective, always rooted in scripture, faith, and hope — and give ourselves permission to sit with it together, in God's presence and each other's.

​

No expertise required. No pressure to have it all figured out. Just an honest conversation among parents, caregivers, and families who understand

​

​This space is for mothers, fathers, caregivers, and families raising children with disabilities, medical complexity, or neurodivergence — who long for community that doesn't require explanation, and faith that meets them exactly where they are.

​

This is a space for peer support, shared reflection, and prayer — not therapy or clinical counsel. It's a place to be known, not a place to be treated.

​

How It Works

We meet monthly, our fall session begins, September 2026, virtually via Zoom, to discuss a chapter or section of our current book. Each session opens with a brief time of grounding — scripture, prayer, or reflection — before we turn to conversation. Sessions are warm, unhurried, and honest, with no assigned homework and no pressure to have finished the whole book.

​

New to book clubs, or short on reading time? Come anyway. This is about presence, not perfection.

​Book of the Month—Our Autumn Read

​

We're reading this book on purpose this Autumn. Bolduc writes as a mother who has walked this road herself, using the image of a mosaic to describe how faith and spiritual practice can help piece together a family's story — even through the broken and unexpected parts. It's reflective, gentle, and built for exactly this kind of shared reading.
