Austism within the family usually means ostracism from normal society, and just having to go to David's OT with him means that Catherine has less time for things like friends and basketball. Life with an autistic family member is a unique challenge, but a meaningful oneĪutism is a difficult aspect of life. That's not to say that living in community with the differently abled is necessarily easy-for instance, David has screaming fits that embarrass Catherine-but it's still an important part of learning to love people well.

This one came directly out of the historical timeline. How did you come up with this new story? Can you explain the plot? I’ll let Jeri explain what’s new in this series and what other books she’s been cranking out. The result is my current favorite of her series.
