Peter White Public Library on Monday, July 14 at 6:30 pm for an informal "coffee house" book discussion. I finished the book this morning and enjoyed reading it. The author wrote the novel shortly after her own son was diagnosed with autism. That said, it's not strictly an autism book, rather there are three main story lines that are connected by a real time and place-- all the main characters were present on the Hudson River when a plane made an emergency landing there late in 2009. I found the story both relevant and transporting. I look forward to meeting the author to learn more about her experiences with her son and with creating this story. As a side note, the beautiful cover illustration was created by Anie Knipping, who also has autism.
