Anne's sister Becky was born in 1958, long before most people had
even heard of autism. Diagnosed with "emotional disturbance," Becky
was subjected for much of her childhood to well-meaning but futile
efforts at "rehabilitation" or "cure," as well as prolonged spells
in institutions away from her family. Painting a vivid picture of
growing up in small-town America during the Sixties, Anne describes
her sister's and her own painful childhood experiences with
compassion and honesty. Struggling with the separation from her
sister and the emotional and financial hardships the family
experienced as a result of Becky's condition, Anne nevertheless
found that her sister had something that "normal" people were
unable to offer. Today she is accepting of her sister's autism and
the impact, both painful and positive, it has had on both their
lives. This bittersweet memoir will resonate with families affected
by autism and other developmental disorders and will appeal to
everyone interested in the condition.
