Kalyn throws open the doors into the world she shares with her autistic son, Noah. While she is frank about experiencing the darkness of grief and worry, her story is remarkable for exposing the laughter, the deep connection with others, and the optimism that so obviously buoy her. In telling her story, Kalyn reminds the reader, and in particular every parent who has faced challenges with a child (and truly, few have not) of the hope and joy that is to be found even amidst isolation and struggle.
