I dream he talks to me : a memoir of learning how to listen

Moorer, Allison2023
Books
When Allison Moorer's son, John Henry, stopped talking just before his second birthday, she was devastated, even though Allison knew in her bones that something was shifting. In the years since John Henry's diagnosis of nonverbal autism, Allison and John Henry have embarked on a powerful journey - filled with the heartbreak, adventure, confusion, and unending love that are the hallmarks of a quest for understanding. In 'I Dream He Talks to Me', Allison details the temper tantrums and the moments of unexpected grace, the mundane expectations of a parent that turn to something extraordinary, with the same gorgeous prose that is a hallmark of her first memoir, 'Blood'.
