Summary
Olivia DonatelliâÈçs dream of a âÈênormalâÈë life shattered when her son, Anthony, was diagnosed with autism at age three. He didnâÈçt speak. He hated to be touched. He almost never made eye contact. And just as Olivia was starting to realize that happiness and autism could coexist, Anthony was gone.
Now sheâÈçs alone on Nantucket, desperate to find meaning in her sonâÈçs short life, when a chance encounter with another woman brings Anthony alive again in a most unexpected way.
In a warm, deeply human story reminiscent of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and Daniel IsnâÈçt Talking, New York Times bestselling author Lisa Genova offers us two unforgettable women on the verge of change and the irrepressible young boy with autism whose unique wisdom helps them both find the courage to move on.
