5.0

Parents Ben & Emma have a son Jonah, he is Autistic. Battling to get him better help, they fall into problems with their relationship. Ben moves in with his Dad to see if the 'separation ' can get Jonah into a better full time school. Though Bens Dad may not agree.....or can see things differently.
This book has a journey, up, down, round. It is beautifully written and is deep, just a lovely sometimes hard hitting, story of love and life.
