<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>An absorbing, sharply observed memoir.<br /> <em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br /> A hilarious and heartrending account of one mother s journey to understand and reconnect with her high-spirited preteen son a true story sure to beguile parents grappling with a child s bewildering behavior.<br /> Popular literature is filled with the stories of self-sacrificing mothers bravely tending to their challenging children. Katherine Ellison offers a different kind of tale. Shortly after Ellison, an award-winning investigative reporter, and her twelve-year-old son, Buzz, were both diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, she found herself making such a hash of parenting that the two of them faced three alternatives: he d go to boarding school; she d go AWOL; or they d make it their full-time job to work out their problems together. They decided to search for a solution while Ellison investigated what genuine relief, if any, might be found in the confusing array of goods sold by the modern mental health industry.<br /> The number of diagnoses for childhood attention and behavior issues is exploding, leaving parents and educators on a confusing chase to find the best kind of help for each child. <em>Buzz</em>, a page-turner of a memoir, brings much relief. It is immensely engaging, laugh-out-loud funny, and honest and packed with helpful insights.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An absorbing, sharply observed memoir."--<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Katherine Ellison</b> is a Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative journalist, former foreign correspondent, writing consultant, author of four books, and mother of two sons.
