New Beginning: Better Than This
Written by Liz Kulp; Illustrated by Jodee Kulp

Chapter 1 – FREE TO EVERYONE! Dear World,My name is Liz Kulp, any woman who can have a baby is very blessed. My birth mother was blessed to have me. She was a single mom, who drank wine and vodka – not by the gallon. We don’t know how much. But her life choices became my life. And my life is not the life you want for any of our future beautiful children. There are a lot of things that can create a secret most people don’t see when they meet me. They don’t know that I understand every third or fourth word of a conversation. People think I know what they are saying. Some of it I do and some I don’t, and then later I have to figure it all out on my own—that is overwhelming. Perhaps you say I should just say I don’t understand. I have tried that, and what happens when I do, people begin to use more words, and they add to my confusion. Or they slow down their speech as if I have no brain and treat me like a child. If I trust you, I will tell you I need more information, but I have found over the years that people with high intelligence get frustrated when they try to help me, so I remain quiet. Note, I am a differently intelligent person, and I hope you will find value in the way my brain works. In fact, some of how I see the world may be a gift to you.
