In today's episode I talk to actress and author, Austin Highsmith Garces, about her experience as a child with a rare disease and how her role on Dolphin's Tale 1 and 2 unleashed her purpose to write a best seller book, "Miracle Tree." It is a story inspired by her own experience that aims to empower parents of sick children to redefine the stigma around hospitals and what it means to create a special experience despite the worry-some circumstances.
This interview is full of inspiring stories of how a family's love is all a child really needs and how to persevere through life's toughest obstacles. Buy her book on Amazon or Barnes and Nobles and a portion of the sales goes to the The Miracle Tree Foundation set up by Austin to financially support Doctors, Scientists, researchers and NGOs to study and develop rare diseases.
