<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This enthralling memoir revels the darkest fears, struggles, exhaustion, tiny victories, and eventually joy of a family dealing with their son's autism.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In 1997, writer Patricia Stacey and her husband Cliff learned that their six-month-old son Walker might never walk or talk, or even hear or see. Unwilling to accept this grim prediction, they embarked on a five-year odyssey that took them into alternative medicine, the newest brain research, and toward a new and innovative understanding of autism. Finally their search led them to pioneering developmental psychiatrist Stanley Greenspan who helped them save their son and bring him into full contact with the world. This enthralling memoir, at once heart wrenching and hopeful, takes the reader into the life of one remarkable family willing to do anything to give their son a rich and emotionally full life. We stand witness as they struggle to elicit the first sign that Walker is connecting with them, and share in their fears, struggles, tiny victories, and eventual triumphs. <i>The Boy Who Loved Windows</i> is compelling and inspiring reading for parents and professionals who care for children with autism and other special needs. The book is also a stunning literary debut, of interest to anyone who cares about the lives of children and the passion of families who, against huge odds, put these children first.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Patricia Stacey</b>, a writer, college teacher, and former staff member of the <i>Atlantic Monthly</i>, lives in Northampton, Massachusetts.
