Do miracles really exist in real, raw life? Find out in this heartwarming story about a bunny named Blue and her adventurous life with wonderfully diverse young humans.

Sam has been having a tough time in school lately. While lying awake in bed late one night, he realizes there is an unexpected guest snuggled up by his side. A friendship is born as Sam and a bunny named Blue adventure together through life and challenges - until one day, Sam grows up and Blue must go on alone or... find a new friend.

From the Author:

In 2015, my daughter received her diagnoses - sensory processing disorder and life-limiting anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). We were stuck in the midst of an absolute mess of an existence. All the therapeutic interventions. All the sleepless nights - because anxiety doesn't sleep even if mom does desire sleep. All the suffering of wanting more for our daughter and life.

Yet, in it all there was still joy. And each day I began to understand more and more, this -

Joy and suffering coexist.

Always.

When I wrote Bliss & Blue, I had no idea that God was using it to show me this in our real, raw life. The complete story came to me at midnight one evening on my yoga mat - the only safe space and time I could find to practice and pray in solitude. It came, and it wouldn't let me go.

Thus, Bliss & Blue needed to be birthed. She had to make her way into the world. And most specifically, because this story isn't just ours. To date, I have met thousands of special needs parents who look like me and many, many gorgeously special, medically fragile, and neurodivergent children like our Bliss (and Blue's previous owner) along this path. This kind of experience of motherhood can be such a tender life space! Here, too often we forget to look up - to look for miracles in the messy and mundane.

But they exist.

And we witnessed them first hand through our bunny named Blue.
