Synopsis
In this dramatic, inspirational memoir, the bestselling author reveals her son's health struggle from his first seizure to the eventual diagnosis of autism and the repercussions in his life and her own. She provides a detailed, day-to-day account of the experience by illuminating the diagnostic and treatment processes as she shares her personal perspective. After immersing herself in concerned-parent-fueled research at what she calls the University of Google, she shares the success of the alternative treatments she found for her son while candidly recounting the pain and confusion surrounding the illness., Jenny McCarthy’s difficult and moving odyssey of finding a diagnosis and healing for her son’s autism is recorded in this combination memoir and handbook for other parents coping with this challenging problem. McCarthy is also the author of LIFE LAUGHS and BELLY LAUGHS., Known for her extreme honesty in her previous books about the everyday trials of pregnancy, motherhood, marriage, and divorce, actress McCarthy has developed a national fan base that has taken her to the bestseller lists; but few have known that her son, Evan, has autism. Here, she takes this revelation to parents across the country, starting a dialogue on this complex condition. Writing with raw humor and honesty, McCarthy shares her son's symptoms and her attempts to sort through the maze of conflicting medical theories, shedding much-needed light on autism through her own heartbreak, struggle, and ultimately hopeful example of how a parent can shape her child's life and happiness.--From publisher description.
