Review Highlights:
Snapshot Of A Soul Place is a touching and tear-jerking read with many heartfelt, inspiring messages. The true story chronicles the life of a mom and child with special needs, her family and support groups. With beautiful illustrations, photography, and poetry the narrative evokes empathy and demonstrates the strength of character we should all strive to achieve.
Kari Burk's creatively presented autobiography is sincere and engaging. It is as empowering as it is poignant, and offers many practical suggestions for parents, educators, and caregivers of children with Down syndrome. We highly recommend this book.
Snapshot of a Soul Place is a profoundly touching book about the deep love and acceptance a mother has for her daughter. Author, Kari Burk was able to capture her experiences and reflections of this journey using a unique blend of poetry, art, images, and stories. Many years were spent putting this book project together, and it shows with its tender words, heart touching images, and one of a kind format.
