Does her disability have much to do with the story or is it just a side bit that is mentioned once or twice. If it plays into the story and affects the main characters, then it works. If not, I wouldn't think so. It is really a judgement call on your part, but after reading the precis, I would think it works.

The H's mother's quadriplegia and her efforts to live a full life despite it is central to the story. The h and her children live with and interact with the mother on a daily basis throughout the book.

Thanks for the judgement call. I'm going to fill in that spot.

Glad it worked out! It really seemed like it would from the book description. =)

Hmmm, if the dragon is a pin or something like that from the story it could be something made of metal - either Platinum or Iron. But if it is just a design on the cover, it doesn't really appear to be metal. So unless one of the words is in the text of the book, I'm not sure it would work for a bonus book. Could easily be one of the stone books though.

Okay. Opal or Tourmaline?

It could work for Ruby, Opal or Tourmaline - had to look hard to find the different colors, but they are there. Not sure if I would use it for Garnet though, I'd want to look at a bigger pic of the cover to determine if I'd call that deep red. But if you think it works, I wouldn't argue.
