Surrounded by a loving cluster of female relatives, his imagination, creativity and love of art were always celebrated- making him uniquely \"Johnnie.\" As an adult, John appeared to lead a charmed life until things changed drastically in his mid-forties. It was during this murky time that he wrote Teacups and Teddy Bears. It enabled him to rekindle the inner strength, unconditional love and self-acceptance of his childhood. This memory started him on a committed recovery journey of both body and mind. Along the way, he was wholeheartedly encouraged to share his story. This book is the result. It's a simple story for all those kids that march to the beat of a different drummer. Allowing them to see that being different is a very special gift. One that should be celebrated throughout life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dorrance Publishing Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50892789874962,"sku":"9798892110204","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_619a08fe-dfc2-4846-ad27-94d5315f2621.jpg?v=1738206763","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/teacups-and-teddy-bears-9798892110204","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
