Genre: Memoir
Raising extraordinary children takes extraordinary love.
What if the greatest challenge you faced wasn’t a race against time, but a test of the limits of your heart?
In this deeply personal memoir, Erica Lee shares her journey of raising two neurodivergent children - one battling fragile health, the other navigating silent internal storms. Their struggles demanded fierce devotion, but they also became the catalyst for Erica’s own transformation.
As she fought for her children’s needs, she found herself fighting for her own - rising from depression, rebuilding her identity, and training for an Ironman as an act of self-reclamation.
Both heart-wrenching and uplifting, The Bond Between Us is a celebration of resilience, quiet victories, and the extraordinary strength that grows when love and self-care finally meet.
The Bond Between Us will be released 22 September 2026. Pre-order now to receive your copy at least two weeks before the release date.

'Erica Lee is a talented author! I really enjoyed the way Lee described situations, perspectives, and revelations. Autistic children need love and acceptance for who they are, not who you want them to be. This is a story of mutual love between a mother and her two autistic children, including moments of compassion, confusion, and celebration. Parents and professionals will appreciate accompanying Erica as she discovers autism within her family and as her evolving understanding of autism unfolds.’ Tony Attwood, clinical psychologist and one of the world’s leading experts in autism
‘The author’s insights into both sons and daughters diagnosed on the autism spectrum is a rare and sorely needed resource for both parents and professionals alike. This valuable account of the personal journey they are all on is powerful because it manages to be both honest about the realities, and also hopeful, incredibly informative and celebratory at the same time. This is exactly what is needed for parents on the same journey – an honest account that is neuro-informed and demonstrating a full understanding of the human nervous system and trauma informed practices – seen through the eyes of a mother with a profound love and inspiring dedication to her children. In all honesty this is more than a book – it’s a gift to all those walking the same journey.' Nathan Wallis, neuroscience educator for parents
‘Erica Lee’s incredible, heartfelt and inspiring memoir is a powerful testament to the power of resilience, patience, vulnerability and love. Prepared to be moved and uplifted as you turn every page.’ Chrissie Wellington OBE, four times Ironman Triathlon World Champion
‘As someone who has also experienced internal battles, I found this story deeply inspiring, and it reminded me that I am not alone. Seeing these feelings portrayed so beautifully in words was a powerful experience for me as a reader.’ Clarissa Lo, editor and reviewer
‘Erica Lee writes with the kind of honesty that makes you exhale – the “oh, yes… that” feeling so many parents of neurodivergent children rarely get to have. The Bond Between Us captures the isolation that can come with parenting beyond the expected path, but it never reduces neurodivergence to tragedy. Instead, it holds a steadier truth: this life can be hard and profoundly beautiful – because our children are extraordinary, and love expands to meet what’s asked of it. What stayed with me most is Erica’s deep respect for nervous systems, autonomy, and the quiet wins that rarely make it into tidy parenting narratives.’ Rebecca Briggs, Square Peg Kids UK
‘A raw and relatable insight into the highs, lows, scarifies and hidden turmoil that life thrusts upon the unsuspecting.’ Melinda Ballyntine, early childhood educator and mum of neurodivergent child
‘Lee’s determination to love and care for her children in the way that they need and deserve shines through in this moving and hopeful memoir.’ Libby Iriks, autistic author of Home to the Heart Country and parent to two neurodivergent hearts
‘Erica knows her children intimately – their patterns, their responses, the subtle changes that signal when something is wrong – yet her concerns are frequently unheard or minimised. A defining theme in this book is Erica’s growing capacity to speak up. This is a story of resilience as sustained effort – it offers an honest and raw account of strength as it is lived, and will resonate deeply with anyone who has trusted their instincts, struggled to be heard or been changed by responsibilities they never anticipated.’ Tania Towers, clinical psychologist

This rug is such good quality and makes me so happy every time I look at it. I'm using this one for a top cover over my bedspread. It's a perfect match for my room and linen. I have another that I use as a throw for the lounge and a picnic rug! In LOVE.

The postage was incredibly quick and the quality and colours far exceeded what I thought. The pics don't do them justice. Truly unique rugs that I doubt will date anytime soon. I would recommend - beautiful rug and great customer service.

My husband argued with me saying we didn’t need a new blanket. Once we received this one, he quickly changed his tune. It’s cozy, soft and warm. I love the design and boho vibe it adds to our home. High quality product at an affordable price.
