Not nearly as tough as losing the race against Chuck Cram for class president in fifth grade. Of course I knew that was a lost cause. Our class had more boys than girls, and fifth graders crossing party lines to vote their conscience was about as likely to happen then as in the today\u2019s House and Senate chambers.

So being part of a general market contest is a fantastic opportunity to spread the word to a wider audience.\u00a0 To be honest my goal isn\u2019t to win the contest. My goal is getting the book into the hands of more hurting, confused parents.<\/p>\n<p>The more votes <em>Different Dream<\/em> gets by March 8, the more it will be noticed. The more it gets noticed, the better. So if you think of it, go to about.com and vote for <em>A Different Dream for My Child<\/em> once a day through March 8.<\/p>\n<p>I thank you.<br \/>\nMy publisher thanks you.<br \/>\nAnd somewhere, some parent of a child with special needs will thank you.<br \/>\nSo much for my acceptance speech!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend was a quiet one.
