I could not put this book down, every chapter amazed me.

Kristine Barnett has written from the heart, you feel her pain, joy, fear and surprise along the way. There is nothing she wouldn't do for others...it all comes natural, she truly knew what to do for her autistic son Jacob and she wasn't afraid to upset the apple cart of public schools. Along the way, others are helped by her can-do attitude.

The family has a good sense of humor, and they need it for all they go thru. A very eye-opening book where you keep rooting for Jacob. I hope there is a sequel - I'd like to see what Jacob Barnett is up to!
