Book overview
AnneDee has Williams syndrome. She has big dreams. And she wants more Jesus in this book.
Maybe you want to say hello to the person sitting alone, but something holds you back. Or, you see someone with a disability and you freeze, unsure what to say or how to act. Maybe you are raising a child who learns differently, and you wonder whether the world will make room for them. Maybe you have been told your whole life that you are "different," and you are still figuring out what that means on your own terms. This is the book for you.
AnneDee Watkins is 19 years old, a proud Kappa Delta sorority sister, and a student at ClemsonLIFE at Clemson University. She also has an intellectual disability that means she learns a little differently than most people. In I'm Walking by Faith, AnneDee shares her story in her own voice: the childhood moment she realized her classroom looked different, the hard questions she asked God about her disability, the friendships she prayed for and found, an answered prayer that arrived in the most unexpected way, and the day her college dream came true. Her parents, siblings, and sorority sisters add their own reflections, giving readers a full picture of what faith, family, and fierce love look like in action.
Inside these pages, you will discover:
- What Williams syndrome really looks like from the inside, told with honesty, humor, and zero self-pity
- How a deep, joyful faith carried one young woman from frustration and loneliness to belonging and purpose
- The courage it takes to say hello, and why that small act can change everything for someone who just wants to be seen
Warm, funny, and radically hopeful, I'm Walking by Faith is the memoir that will make you laugh, cry, pray, and never walk past a stranger again.
