As a mom of an Autistic boy, this book broke my heart over and over again. I could only take 50 pages a day. I sort of understand how hard it can be with an Autistic child (my son is very different from Wes as all children on the spectrum can be) but I've never felt anything but undying love for my child 

This is the story of Wes. He's a 14 year old Autistic boy. This is told from his perspective. His hopes, his fears, his sensory needs, he tells the reader all. His family doesn't understand him and even has hatred for him... Except his military father. He is the only one who has patience and love for Wes.

There are things that happen to this family that I won't give away but it tears you up inside reading about them going through it. The ending though is beautiful!
