If your son had been in a tragic car accident and doctors and specialists repeatedly told you that he wouldn’t live, how would you cope? Patty Kikos interviews Cheryl Koenig OAM, who not only received the Order of Australia Medal, was named Woman of the Year, but also authored 5 books. Cheryl is passionate about advocating for carers voices to be heard. She also shares about her son’s miraculous journey to recovery. We will commence our Book Club with her latest novel called ‘In My Blood’.
