A sequel to Chicken Boy: The Amazing Adventures of a Super Hero
with Autism, this book shares why a visit to a doctor or a dentist
may be difficult for certain children. The buzz of a dental drill,
the cold of a stethoscope, the smell of rubber gloves, the taste of
the toothpaste; all of these can be intensified for children with
autism. Yet many children can relate to the fears that can surround
these visits and can use our superhero's tips to help make these
trips just a little bit easier.
A product of the foster care system, Sara Butler spends her early
thirties hiding from her past while striving for a normal life with
her small group of quirky friends in Arizona. Seeking treatment for
an invisible rash and abnormal dreams, her therapist helps her
unlock a heinous past that she is unsure she wants to open. To
patch her life back together, she realizes she must travel across
country to Maine to confront that past in order to plan for a
future.
Jacob and Noah Garrett are brothers harboring a lifelong resentment
towards each other while dealing with their own compulsive
obsessions. One is a liberal gay man who forsakes his family and
moves to New York City from Tennessee where he travels deep into a
labyrinth of sex and drugs while fighting the fear over his
homosexuality. The other is a southern conservative who is left at
home holding the proverbial family bag. The story follows their
loosely intertwined lives through the wild times of the late
seventies and the restraint of the Reagan years in which one
brother ends up becoming a minister and preaching his doctrine
while the other believes there are some things people are born with
and not meant to change. Well with My Soul is told through the
perspective of both brothers and shows how misguided choices can
drastically affect those around you for years to come; and family
may be all that one has when looking for peace to stifle the embers
that smolder beneath the surface.
"I have a superhero inside my head. I call him Chicken Boy"
proclaims our hero. What others may see as odd "quirks," a child
living with autism explains as all a part of his being a superhero.
Told in the first person perspective, Chicken Boy offers a small
glimpse into the mind of one child who wants others to understand
they shouldn't fear someone simply because that person is a little
different.
