Helpful Score: 2

I started out having a little trouble with the author's writing style, but then I realized this book, though written well, was written not by a professional writer but a mother trying to share her story. This was an eye-opening glimpse into the lives of a family faced with raising an autistic child. For once I really felt I could understand the desperation that many of these parents must feel, not knowing if they will ever get through to their children. My heart broke as the author shared some of her more personal feelings. But this book reinforced something I have always felt - that animals have the power to heal, through completely unconditional love. A wonderful tribute to a dog who changed the lives of his human family, as well as to the boy who grew up to be an inspiration.
