<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Monotonous babbling was the only thing her toddler could utter. Nothing comprehensible. He had no longing to engage with another human being in his world. How could he survive Kindergarten? What could his future be?</p><p>But she was determined to get her son to call her 'Mom'. Forging her way through an onslaught of challenges, Leah struggled to overcome her husband's skepticism, mixed signals from professionals, frantic 911 calls, and a harrowing lack of resources to get the help her son needed.</p><p>Would her husband's indifference impact their marriage? Where would she get help when the professionals were nonchalant about her son's behavior?</p><p>An inspirational story of courage and empowerment, The Promise of Lilacs is a mother's memoir written from the heart.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em> "Once I started reading this book, I couldn't stop.
