Join author Erica Lee for a conversation about her deeply personal memoir, The Bond Between Us, a moving reflection on the journey of raising neurodivergent children.

In her memoir, Erica shares her experience raising two neurodivergent children, one with complex health challenges and the other navigating unseen internal struggles.

Through her evolving understanding of autism and neurodivergence within her family, Erica offers an honest account of the joys, uncertainties, setbacks and triumphs that shape everyday life.

Her story will resonate with parents and carers seeking connection, encouragement and recognition of the remarkable work they do each day, while also providing valuable insight for educators, professionals and anyone interested in understanding the experiences of contemporary families.

Following the talk, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A with Erica and explore the themes of advocacy, self-care, resilience and belonging that are at the heart of her book.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase on the evening.

Family-friendly event

We understand that finding time away from family responsibilities can be difficult. Caregivers are warmly encouraged to bring their children along to this event. During the talk, our Youth Librarian will facilitate supervised activities in the Youth section of the library, within sight of the presentation space, allowing adults to enjoy the discussion while remaining close to their children.

Come along to hear Erica's inspiring story and celebrate the strength and determination that sustains families.
