This book is the story of Robert Rummel-Hudson and his wife's gradual realization that there is something wrong with their baby daughter, their struggle to get a diagnosis for her, and their courageous efforts to make sure she gets an appropriate education and the help she needs. What was surprising about the book is the father's wonderful sense of humor in the face of despair. I really liked the humorous parts. Schuyler, herself, is brave, kind, and charming. You can't read this book and not be cheering for the whole family. I found the book to be a very enjoyable read and recommend it to anyone who enjoys books about children persevering.
