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.

Erica Lee is a Western Australian writer whose work explores the fierce, tender, and transformative realities of motherhood. With a background in health and physical education, Erica has spent years teaching, mentoring, and creating inclusive spaces for young people. Outside the classroom, she is a committed endurance athlete - an experience that continues to inform her understanding of resilience, discipline, and possibility. Erica lives near the coast with her husband and children. When she’s not working on her next project, she can be found running along the beach path, swimming in the ocean, or bouncing on the backyard trampoline with her children.
