My Mother, the Good Witch Doctor
by Expat Scribe
The queen has summoned me to save her youngest child... but I'm just an ordinary teenager! She chose me because my mother rescued her older daughter before. That's why palace insiders tagged her 'The Witch Doctor.' Sadly, Mom left us for the great beyond and didn't teach me how to save princesses. Worse, Dad did something that might get us kicked out of the kingdom. But then one day, I got a cryptic message from Mom. Can I use it to save the princess? Will it help me and my father too? This fictional scenario is inspired by events that really happened. It's a precursor to the discovery of teaching methodology that addresses a neurobiological condition called dyslexia. This book includes a primer on this reading and learning disorder-and what parents/guardians of dyslexic children can do about it.This publication is the author's tribute to her late mother, who was an educator, an advocate of women's rights, a practitioner of holistic therapies, and a licensed reflexologist. Her late brother, a graphic designer, had friends with dyslexia. Interestingly, they were from the graphic and performing arts. The information in this book has been evaluated by a clinical psychologist and teacher of children with special needs.
