in their edition of 07-13-07 about the book, "I Can Help You; the Jenny Friedman Story".
"A Book About Love ... " by CJN staff [07-13-07]"
"When Edward Friedman's daughter Jenny died three years ago, he started putting his thoughts and feelings on paper."
"First I wrote ideas, then whole paragraphs, and after about two years, I realized I had a book," says Friedman. Friedman's book, "I Can Help You," is the story of his daughter's life. Jenny, who had Down syndrome, never let her challenges from doing what she wanted to do. When she died, at the age of twenty seven, she had a good job, many friends, and as Friedman states, "money she earned as a mail clerk at an insurance company to buy anything she wanted. The boss said she was their best employee, totally conscientious about her work."
"Friedman says the hardest part to read in the book is just the first few pages. "It's tough to hear a doctor tell you that something's wrong with your baby," he says. "But the book gets better from there, and deals with Jenny's ability to overcome obstacles, solve problems, and to take care of her friends."
"I Can Help You" is available at www.cafepress.com. For further information, call Friedman at his office, 847-542-0770."

Read what friend Laura Lahr Narvaez said as a testimonial.
"This is highly motivational reading with universal themes, for everyone who wants to be the very best they can be. Jenny is a living testament that one can accomplish anything even in the face of adversity. Conversely, those of us who are not limited by such challenges, often do too little with our lives to make as much of a difference, or live to our potential. With G-d, a little ambition and a sense of humor, we can accomplish the impossible and even give joy and be a mitzvoth to others." Laura Lahr Narvaez, Kenosha Wisconsin
