Dan is bound to a chair and Sam his grandson is bound to his autism. Both are limited. Both could be lost souls. But love and learning to share common experiences creates a mutual world in which there is freedom and joy. Dan shows us how not to give up but to live up to what we can do. As with Letters to Sam, I will also recommend this book to those who have autistic children. But even more, I will recommend this book to everyone who feels that their limitations mean that they can not find love and joy in life.

The Wisdom of Sam: Observations on Life from an Uncommon Child
My new favorite gift book. Reflections on touching conversations and observations of the human condition told by a loving grandfather through the eyes of his specially gifted grandson.

Letters to Sam was given to me and now, I have given, and will give, the book with the joy that i'm giving a rare treasure. The book is not just to Sam; rather, it's to all of us as we encounter deeply-moving and challenging moments of life. I've reread the book and will reread it for it reminds me to be kind, accepting, loving, embracing, brave. Thank-you, Dr. Gottlieb.
