Several years ago, my dear friend and fellow traveler Kyra Anderson came up with an idea for an anthology about parenting kids on the autism spectrum. She wanted to create a book that was full of true stories, humor, and just life in general. She wanted the book to be real, and to make parents of autistic kids feel included and part of a world they recognized as they read. She asked me if I thought people would want this book, and if it was possible. From my perch in the library, I said, “Yes, yes people would read this book and yes, yes it’s possible.”
Monday brings the launch of Gravity Pulls You In, Kyra’s dream, and mine, realized. Head on over to the publisher’s site, or the Amazon page. I think you’ll see that Kyra’s idea has met its full fruition.

Please tell Kyra that while she was discussing her idea with you in the library, I was THAT MOM searching through bookstore shelves and libraries looking for a book just like this one. What a treat for parents everywhere, but especially for parents like me on this journey with our children. Just ordered a copy for me and a copy for my library.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
