Her Antiphospholipid Syndrome diagnosis has caused most of the side effects and permanent disabilities she now suffers from.

One of those issues is how he was physically attacked in his special education classroom by two supposedly trained aides. That event has left him traumatized to this day. Through it all, she continues to keep a positive outlook, has a strong faith and maintains a sense of humor.
Smaniotto says, “The book tells how I try to always have a positive attitude and tackle things head on without giving up. Even though I have severe, permanent disabilities, I continue to live my life as best as I can, and do so by using humor, faith and hope to do that.” The author continues, “The book was meant to inform others about the APS and let them know that no matter how bad things seem, with the right attitude and state of mind, you can conquer any kind of adversity that you have been dealt.”
