Note: I didn't actually read the Large Type book, but as this is the only version available at the AADL, I at least wanted to include my review of the story somewhere.
This was a wonderful and well-written story about a dad's journey to find healing (not a cure) for his young son's terribly difficult autism. They journeyed, literally, to Outer Mongolia to seek healing with the reindeer people's shamans. The story is heartwarming, heartbreaking, and wonderful to read.
