On this episode of “613 Books” Podcast, Producer-Host Heather Dean’s guest is Ahava Ehrenpreis, the celebrated author of “On My Own…but Not Alone,” “More than Special: Perspectives from the World of Special Needs,” and “My Special Uncle.”

Ahava is the 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 her two most recent books. His 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!”
