They became the center of our family, guiding every choice we made. We traveled the US and Canada, loading wheelchairs, oxygen tanks, and medications for six weeks each summer. The idea for Raven was born from my experience with the girls; one was non-verbal, the other spoke rarely, yet they sensed shifts in their surroundings with remarkable clarity. I would be an unreliable eyewitness to a crime, but they noticed the smallest changes, teaching me to observe with care.
