About the Author
Dr. Lori Goss-Reaves is a Professor of Social Work and an advocate for individuals with special needs. Through her work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Dr. Reaves inspired families to tell their own stories of resilience, hope, and love. As the only daughter of a Navy Corpsman, killed in action in Vietnam, Dr. Reaves believes the entire family serves when a loved on joins the armed forces. Her published works include two book chapters, academic articles in peer-reviewed journals, a book forward, and three book reviews.
Dr. Reaves is married to a syndicated cartoonist, Eric Reaves, who draws the Hi and Lois comic strip. Eric was a ghost artist who now signs his daily strips written by Brian and Greg Walker. Lori and Eric together raised five children, relying on a sense of humor to lead the way. Five grandchildren are now their crowning glory.
