Anne. Talia. Ruthie. Brett. Four very different New York women. But
when their children are diagnosed with autism, they all find
themselves struggling with the same problem. Suddenly, these women
- an ex-model who owns a downtown bar, a high-powered magazine
editor, an English professor, and a physical therapist - find that
they need each other, as they face the ultimate challenge for any
parent: How to help their autistic children get the care they need.
They join together in a support group, and each chapter follows a
month in their lives and ends with a meeting.
It's a rocky road, as they contend with: Quacks peddling expensive
alternative therapies - and hope; husbands impatient with their
children's disability; other women only too happy to take advantage
of the pressures on their marriages; older children diagnosed with
autism years ago; newborn babies who have a one-in-five chance of
suffering from the disorder; scheming co-workers who try to turn
this problem to their advantage; grandparents who are anything but
helpful; and resentful teens who run wild while their mothers cope
with the crisis. And through it all, they help each other - with
strength, humor, love and wisdom.
