Description
A Pebble to Polish by disability and parent advocate Janet Lord Leszl demystifies autism. With a rich blend of prose this wonderfully plotted novel draws from the author's own experience of raising a child with autism. With all of life uncertainties and frustrations magnified, this book provides an accurate portrait of the many faces and predicaments of this disorder. Life can be a roller coaster and for families of children with autism, life is the ultimate roller coaster ride. The romantic and idealistic, Cassandra Delaine is ready for a life of wealth and good fortune when she is devastated by a sudden and tragic loss. While fate smiles on her financially, a short-lived romance brings a child which under the best circumstances would be a tough gig. When the child is diagnosed with autism, she must learn to avail herself to the kindness and fortitude of a small community of other mothers of children with autism.
