The Spark is about the transformative power of unconditional love.
If you have a child who's 'different' - and who doesn't? - you
won't be able to put it down

The Spark describes in glowing terms the profound intensity with
which a mother can love her child

Every parent and teacher should read this fabulous book!

The Autistic Brain*
Amazing, compulsive reading. Barnett not only fights heroically on
Jake's behalf, she also beats down every other obstacle that life
hurls at her and her family
