Reseña del editor:

Carolyn Angelin wants a quiet life - a husband, couple of kids, a house in the 'burbs, and a dog. Is that too much to ask? When Carolyn finds herself pregnant, she and her husband, Martin, are excited at the prospect of a playmate for their first son, James. But they get more than they bargain for with not one, not two, but three baby boys - triplets! The triplets prove to be dynamos from day one. Their unruly behaviour gains momentum as they grow, and each day poses new challenges for Carolyn and Martin as they attempt to raise four boys under the age of two years old. Suspecting something is not quite right after the triplets are expelled from playgroup, Carolyn searches for answers. Is there something wrong with the boys, or is she just a bad mother? Carolyn's journey takes her to the depths of despair and, ultimately, a major meltdown. She emerges to the discovery that her triplets suffer from ADHD. ADHD to the Power of Three is a compelling and poignant tale of a mother's triumph over adversity as her children's condition threatens to derail her family. It is also a story of hope for anyone who's ever felt that 'life is just too hard.'

Biografía del autor:

Carolyn Angelin was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1965. She grew up in a dysfunctional family, so she looked forward to creating a picture perfect world of her own one day. Carolyn was swept off her feet (literally) by Martin when they met ballroom dancing at Hawthorn Town Hall and married in 1994. But Carolyn’s dancing days came to a grinding halt when twenty-one months after the birth of her first son, James, she found herself a mother to four boys, courtesy of identical triplets! Today, with four strapping teenage sons, a husband, and a black Labrador, her life is anything but dull. She spends her days to-ing and fro-ing from schools, sporting activities, and appointments with the orthodontist. Carolyn endures endless hours at the supermarket and is truly happy if she can provide one evening meal that everyone will eat. To survive living in such a testosterone charged household, Carolyn enjoys manicures, facials, massages, chick flicks, and doing lunch with the girls. Miraculously, Carolyn is still happily married to Martin and lives with him and her four sons in Melbourne. This is her first book. She also has a website at http://www.ADHD3.com
