Product Description

Review
"A silence grew between me and my son. He curled back into himself, lying about his worries to keep my love and to save us both from disappointment. Perhaps I shut him up because it was too hard to listen to his pain, a pain I believed I had caused. Where could I turn to help him find his voice? In the beginning, I think this book will be just for us, a single copy bound for memory, a way for him to talk, a trick. The words pour out of him, bright sounds telling a very different story than any statistic, than any map of brain anatomy. He is relieved to not have to lie anymore. We have something together again. David teaches me, the expert, so much--about the sickening anxiety of looking at shapes that mean nothing, about the terror that overtakes him when he has to learn something new, about how obsessed he was with learning to read at the same time that he feigned indifference. Things no book could tell me. Telling this story together helped us rise above what had befallen us, allowing us to find new beauty in the everyday. And there is no more need for silence and shame."

Synopsis
Draws on the author's own experience of coping with a son diagnosed with dyslexia, revealing the challenging and rewarding odyssey of teaching a child how to read and the impact of that journey on the mother-son relationship.
