Ahava Ehrenpreis (nee Sperka) is the celebrated author of More than Special: Perspectives from the World of Special Needs and On My Own…but Not Alone. Mother of Saadya, a”h, a young man with Down syndrome, her experiences raising him were the basis for her popular and well-received articles and book on the topic. Saadya’s tragic passing from COVID-19 provided the impetus for My Special Uncle, which serves as a tribute to his sincere and ever-present assertion to everyone he knew that “it’s going to be okay!”
