This is a good summer book, a quick read. It is a great story about a mother's determination to do the best AND be the best for her children. I agree with some others though, that things are tied up a little too easily to be completely believable, but that's why it's fiction. I enjoyed seeing the transition of the mother from her past confident self to panicky to again self-assured. Maybe not for parents of autistic children, though it certainly highlights the real-life stress on many families, but perhaps a light for others who are struglling to understand the struggles and stress on the families directly affected by children dealing with developmental issues.
