The River by Starlight: A Novel
Her brother’s letter touched a match to the wick of Annie’s doused dreams. Dream enough for her, to stroll the length of a town without the abortive glances, the stilted greetings, the wider berth given her on the sidewalk. “I could use some help out here,” he wrote. “What’s holding you to Iowa anyway?”
The Autism Trail Guide: Postcards from the Road Less Traveled
From the author of the globally beloved classic Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew comes The Autism Trail Guide, a compendium of insights as wide as the autism spectrum itself, a cohesive compilation of articles and columns to guide parents of children with autism in taking on daily challenges while celebrating what their children bring to their world. Ellen offers concrete advice on everyday issues like math homework, video games and tricky behavior, while also tackling more abstract concepts of parenting that have no simple answers. When to take risks and when to play it safe. When to step up and when to back off. How to hang on and when to let go.
