Description

In Marti LeimbachÂs second novel, Melanie MarshÂs son cries frequently, avoids affection, and wonÂt speak. When heÂs diagnosed as autistic, MelanieÂs world begins to fracture. Her straight-laced British husband, terrified of his alien son and his emotionally-distraught wife, leaves for work one day and never comes back. Alone, desperate to help her son, surrounded by unsympathetic doctors, and in financial crisis, Melanie begins to lose weight and, perhaps, her mind. In the end, salvation comes in the form of an unorthodox psychologist who simultaneously finds ways to help Daniel and heal Melanie. Though the semi-autobiographical (Leimbach also has an autistic child) novel reads with the dramatic speed of a screenplay, it also contains the intimacy of a memoir and the usual advice of a self-help book.
