Just finished reading RULES by Cynthia Lord
Thanks to my sister for recommending this book to me. SUCH a good story. What made the book for me: the main character, Catherine. She is entirely believable, funny and flawed, and I fell in love with her right away. HIGHLY recommended.
Here's a great interview with Cynthia Lord about Rules on Cynsations, where she talks about having a son with autism and how she wanted to explore the unique dynamics that exist in a family that has a child with severe special needs. Rules was her first published book!
You can find out more about Cynthia at her website: http://cynthialord.com/rules.html
I recently bought her newest book, HALF A CHANCE, and can't wait to read it!
