BOOK REVIEW: A riveting read that plunges deep into one family’s world of autism. Author Juli Liske spins a real life but atypical autism tale of two rural, working-class parents who confront discouraging, deeply entrenched and disturbing manifestations of the disorder with sheer grit and admirably relentless determination. This is not a book about a wealthy family with a plethora of money, personnel, and resources. And, therein lies, in part, the inspiration and encouragement this book gifts the reader. Another gift for readers is learning how the Liske family burrowed in and created an innovative home-spun intervention team, which is also a lesson in creativity and ingenuity. What results is the culling of an extraordinary little boy and a mother’s journey from despair into the genuine realization of autism’s special blessings. A worthy addition to anyone’s library! Leisa A.Hammett, mother,advocate, and author of forthcoming book: The Journey with Grace: a mother’s reflections of raising a child with autism
