Discovering that your child has a permanent pervasive developmental disorder is a shock to any parent. At first, it is hard to believe that the diagnosis is true. But quickly, you begin to immerse yourself in information to learn as much as you can, as quickly as you can. When the author's son was diagnosed with ASD at the age of four, she began collecting files of paperwork from doctors and therapists, test results, IEPs, and her own journal writings. She later combined it in chronological order and used it as a resource to explain her son to teachers, grandparents, caregivers, therapists, and other parents. The result is My Andrew, a heartfelt look into the first eight years of a family's journey to raise their son with autism. Presented in a journal format, this book presents what ASD means to a family's everyday life ? it highlights the ups and downs, the victories and the setbacks.

"Dear Andrew" is a chronicle of love and grief as expressed through letters from a father to his deceased eight-year-old son. It begins with the raw shock and bewilderment of Andrew's unexpected death and moves, letter by letter, through the father's grief process. Like all grief, this is a path that is not straight and predictable. In the end, it leads to a sense of transformation and peace. Although it is personal in content, it is universal in its meaning. It opens the door to the very essence of grief, indirectly giving the bereaved permission to feel all there is to feel in their loss and to express those feelings openly. Finally, "Dear Andrew" confirms that recovery does not mean "getting over it" or "moving on". Nevertheless, the letters show that it is possible to find new joy and deepened passion in life and living, after great loss. This collection of letters may give hope and comfort to others in grief, and to those caring souls who would offer support.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This on-point guide to growing up by Instagram sensation Mari Andrew features “achingly vulnerable and completely relatable watercolor illustrations about relationships, heartbreak and the struggles of urban life” (The Washington Post). In the journey toward adulthood, it is easy to find yourself treading the path of those who came before you; the path often appears straight and narrow, with a few bumps in the road and a little scenery to keep you inspired. But what if you don’t want to walk a worn path? What if you want to wander? What if there is no map to guide you through the detours life throws your way? From creating a home in a new city to understanding the link between a good hair dryer and good self-esteem to dealing with the depths of heartache and loss, these tales of the twentysomething document a road less traveled—a road that sometimes is just the way you’re meant to go. Praise for Am I There Yet? “Equal parts memoir and illustrated guidebook, it chronicles Andrew’s journey through adulthood as she navigates love and heartbreak, professional indecision and success, and personal struggles.”—Refinery29 “Using her artistic skills to illustrate thought-provoking essays, Andrew inspires readers to take the path less traveled in life.”—CNN “The illustrations . . . are often packed with truths about dating, self-care, careers, and all the secret thoughts you never say out loud.”—Elle “This uplifting book is filled with essays and illustrations that will fill you with so much hope as you move forward with any big life change.”—Bustle “Her illustrations will resonate with anyone who has ever had a crush, went on a date, or felt the sting of heartbreak.”—The Independent

My Life in Boats, Fast and Slow, by Andy Larkin, is an appealing memoir, an indispensable rowing history and a lyrical paean to river boating. As memoir, it flows from the boyhood of a doctor's son through the cultural turmoil of the late 1960's into the calmer waters of late middle age, evoking memories of times and places which will be familiar to many of its readers. As good writing, it resonates particularly in Larkin's descriptions of his solo sculling journeys in recent years on New England waters. As history, it provides a heretofore unseen perspective of life at the top of the sport's pyramid - Larkin was a multiple Sprints champion and an Olympian - from the early years of Harry Parker's reign at the helm of Harvard rowing. This first-person narrative offers a unique view of how some of the issues that roiled the 1968 Olympics - and remain unresolved a half-century later - were used to malign one of our country's greatest collegiate teams.
