Cynthia sounds like an absolute joy. I have Rules on my wish list. I have a couple of friends with children on the autism spectrum, so it's something that's really dear to my heart. I had my first whoopie pie on a trip to New Hampshire three years ago. A friend and I were out to lunch and were served whoopie pies for dessert. Thankfully my friend was a native New Englander and thus able to explain what a whoopie pie was. I had absolutely no clue, as Pennsylvania is a little too far north for moon pies, and just a little too far south for whoopie pies. It looked like a chocolate UFO to me, but it sure was delicious!

I loved your book it was great. I loved the part when she took Jason to the dance and finally realized that Kristie would be a great friend but you don't have to inpress her.

I admire you for having the courage to write about something that is so serious - and that many people do not understand. I hope they gain a better understanding through your book. I will be putting this on my tbr pile. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
