Rose Colored Glasses
Set on the desert steppes of Eastern WA State, Rose Colored Glasses exposes the often delightful, sometimes disappointing or even painful underbelly of motherhood. Fourth baby Katy's eyes jiggle, bounce, cross, and squint. Oh, and by the way, her IQ is abysmal, too. Without a diagnosis, where can her mother find answers? Rose Colored Glasses sweeps the reader into the hectic life of parenting, and how a mother learned to release expectations to make room for the greatest gift: God's love and hope that sustains through the toughest times. What others are saying: "Rose Colored Glasses is a moving, informative, and - in the best and deepest meaning of the word - inspiring true story. It's an account of courage, faith and persistent hope. It's the kind of book you will want to read again and share with your friends because it's a book you will love." Mitch and Kathy Finley - Authors of numerous books including: What Faith is Not and the Liturgy of Motherhood "In detailing the events of her daughter, Katy's, birth and discovery of her bouncy, wiggly, eyes, Tomaszewski reveals a heartwarming and true story of the significant courage of ordinary people. While in most books the reader is permitted observation, Tomaszewski's writing style engages the reader in such a way that one feels like a member of her household. We seem to be in the same room when Ellen raises the shades and lets sunlight in - thereby discovering the odd characteristics of her daughter's eyes." - Rebekah Jakeman, book reviewer for the Entertainer Newspaper "Very beautiful and moving story." Mary O - Reader and parent of child with achromatopsia, Great Britain "I just finished reading your wonderful book. God certainly revealed His wisdom when he gave Katy to you. Very few moms would have had the love, patience, and perseverance to nurture and guide Katy to be the lovely young woman she has become." Reader Cherie R., Pennsylvania "Rose Colored Glasses is a great book which shows that any child with a disability as confusing as congenital achromatopsia can succeed with the assistance and advocacy of a devoted parent." Rachael Scdoris, author of No End in Sight, Iditarod runner and person with achromatopsia.
