About this product
Product Information
In her late thirties, Denise Minor lived in a spacious apartment in San Francisco with her husband Alex and their small sons Nathan and Max. Two evenings a week she taught Spanish at a local university. She was happy with her life in many ways but could not release a dream that had been simmering for a decade: earn a PhD in Spanish and become a professor. She was accepted into the University of California, Davis. Less than a year after moving there with her family, Max received a diagnosis of autism. Over the following eighteen years she chronicled the journey of dropping out of and returning to the PhD program, of dedicating herself to various therapies for Max and of trying to give her son Nathan a fair share of her attention. Alex lived an exhausting life driving between two cities to support the family and helping Denise navigate the labyrinth of services and treatments for Max. Autism, she learned, is not just a diagnosis for one person but rather is a diagnosis for the entire family. In the end, her message to other parents of children with disabilities is, "Raise your children the best you can, but don't give up your own dreams."

Reviews
"This is a beautiful, heartwarming, heartbreaking story about what autism means to a deeply thoughtful mother and her family. Well-written, insightful, genuine, and deeply loving it captures the specialness of the joy and the ache of autism. As a psychiatrist who has spent most of his career working with families that have someone with autism within them, I found this book inspirational and moving. I whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone who knows someone with autism and everyone who has thought deeply about life and love." --Dr. Robert L. Hendren, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California San Francisco, past President of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and past Executive Director the of University of California, Davis MIND Institute "Through her stories, Denise shares how a mother's love causes her to draw on an inner strength to take on the monumental challenges that come with raising a child with special needs. That she has done this without losing her sense of self and without giving up on her own hopes and dreams is inspiring to parents like myself who have a child with special needs." --Emily Medina, MS, Marriage and Family Therapist "Denise Minor stares unblinking at her son's autism and her own heartbreaks. Her writing is clear, strong and precise, and is buttressed by the iron will of a loving mother who tries her best not to scream or avert her gaze." --Andrew Lam, PEN Open Book Award recipient and author of Birds of Paradise Lost, East Eats West and Perfume Dreams: Reflections on the Vietnamese Diaspora
