Most Helpful Customer Reviews   9 of 10 people found the following review helpful: an honest account..., October 30, 2002 By  Billie R. Hoch (Limerick, PA United States) - See all my reviews    This book was about more than just helping David find his voice through PECS. Though this book was a great testimony to the effectiveness of PECS and other therapies, the best part for me was the open, honest feelings of Liane Gentry Skye. This was her journey, as well as David's. Her journey to redefine normal. She went from despair, to acceptance, to pure joy. She shows us that accepting your child's disabilities are a far cry from giving in to them. She laid her heart out for all to see and held nothing back. She gave the good with the bad. This book was beautifully written. Liane Gentry Skye has grace, charm. Her heartfelt words are nothing short of lyrical. I would like to read more about David and Jamie!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

This book is a must read for any parent or family member facing the Journey of Autism. Your child does not have to be non-verbal for this book's honesty and joy to touch your heart in a very special way. I hope this book expands the use of PECS in the same way that Catherine Maurice's book expanded the use of ABA a few years ago. What a wonderful blessing to our children!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
