A large family attempts to deal with one memebers difference - autism - when autism was barely recognizable on the spectrum of disorders. The father was a psychiatrist, unable to heal his son and the mother, a stay at home mom, unable to provide the perfect looking family in 1950's America. Also, at that time Autism was commonly blamed on the mother who was considered too cold or sterile therefore de-emotionalizing the child. How did all this effect a large family - read and find out!!
