A true story of a mother's love and the trials and tribulations of raising an autistic son while life sends them in a whirlwind of chaos. While growing up in a military family with a mother from England and a father from the hills of Tennessee, I would never have expected my life to take so many twists and turns. I was a young mother raising my autistic son. We both were new to every experience we went through. We learned together, we have fought for each other, and we have taught each other. There were guns, drugs, assaults, domestic abuse, and addictions involved. Older and wiser now, we have learned that love, patience, and perseverance keep you strong, and a good sense of humor keeps you somewhat sane.
