ENCINITAS, Calif. - Jan. 20, 2015 - PRLog -- When Lori and her husband Craig finally made the painful decision to place Emily with a family in another state that would offer more help for her child, the story made national news as parents all over the world rushed to judge them. Lori is passionate about telling her story to help people to better understand the enormous challenges parents of special needs children face in a culture that believes that motherly love and perseverance can cure all ills. She hopes her book will inspire other moms and help them to realize they aren’t alone, and that there are ways to stay strong in the most challenging of circumstances. She also hopes WHEN MAMA CAN’T KISS IT BETTER will bring much needed attention to the country's broken mental healthcare system and to what it will take to better support parents raising children with invisible disabilities and mental illness in their homes.

“This is an important book that psychologists have been waiting for. WHEN MAMA CAN'T KISS IT BETTER reminds us that some children are so severely damaged that even excellent parents cannot reverse the genetic imprint.”

-ROBERTA TEMES, Ph.D., CLINICAL ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, DOWNSTATE MEDICAL SCHOOL PSYCHOTHERAPIST

“Lori Gertz's heart-rending story speaks to every mother who has ever doubted herself and desperately longed for certainty when making crucial decisions about her children's welfare based on patchy information. WHEN MAMA CAN’T KISS IT BETTER is a harrowing portrait of what special needs parents go through when trying to find answers and resources. It exposes the frustrations and pitfalls of dealing with medical, legal, and educational systems that are inadequate to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population of children with serious developmental, emotional, and behavioral issues.”

-NANCY PESKE, CO-AUTHOR OF THE AWARD WINNING RAISING A SENSORY SMART CHILD: THE DEFINITIVE HANDBOOK FOR HELPING YOUR CHILD WITH SENSORY PROCESSING ISSUES

"This book isn't a must read at all. IT'S A HAVE TO READ! This book is one that everyone who have children or work with children should read." -M.
