About this product

Product Information

As a baby, Sean Barron seemed almost normal. But as he grew older, his behaviour became increasingly strange and uncontrollable. The truth became all too clear: something was very, very wrong. When Judy Barron and her husband Ron sought professional help, they were brusquely told that their son suffered from an incurable condition that would only get worse with time. They had never even heard the word autism. In a room full of adults, Sean could not even recognize his mother and father. He rarely spoke, and communicated through grunts and screams. For years, none of the conventional treatments seemed to work. And yet sometimes his parents caught fleeting glimpses of the helpless child inside the stranger who shared their home. They were determined to free him. And somehow their love, their rage, their patience, reached him at last. A new Sean Barron emerged to tell of the years stolen from him by his mysterious disease. His account is fascinating, for he remembers it all - the fury, the terrifying isolation, the desperate desire to reach out, and the paralyzing fear that made it impossible, until the family's indomitable and courageous resolve finally released him. Told in the alternating voices of mother and son, this book is a chronicle of one family's terrifying ordeal and the miraculous awakening that brought it to an end.
