Overview
"Stories of hope and recovery from a nation of parents of autistic children by the high-profile bestselling author ofLouder than Words When Jenny McCarthy published the story of her successful efforts to save her son from autism, the response was tremendous, including a number-three rank on the New York Times bestseller list and an appearance on the cover of People magazine. What she hadn't anticipated was the overwhelming response from other parents of autistic children who wanted to share their own stories of success. No two autistic children heal in exactly the same way. And in her new book, Jenny expands her message to share recovery stories from parents across the country, showing how each parent fought to find her own child's perfect ""remedy of interventions."" Along the way, Jenny shares her own journey as an autism advocate and mother, as well as the continuing progress of her son, Evan. Emotional and genuinely practical, Mother Warriors will inspire a generation of parents with hope."
