As an outspoken teenager, Cindy Seaton defended the individual with 'special needs' right to live in the face of prejudice and ignorance. Years later, her fervent belief in those rights-and in God-would be tested in ways she never imagined. Sharing with brutal honesty about her own impoverished childhood, the rocky early years of her marriage, and her struggle to understand God's will for her life, Cindy tells the story of her firstborn son, Kyle. Kyle is deeply loved. Kyle also has autism. This is the raw and unflinching account of a family and a child with extreme special needs. Kyle's struggle to live and function on the spectrum is gripping and-at times-hard to watch unfold. It is not easy, but a mother's love for her son triumphs over trials-and God's love for His children triumphs over all. Cindy Seaton loves laughter, coffee, travelling, blogging, and CrossFit. She's been married to her main squeeze, Vance, for thirty years. Cindy's five well-loved children are grown. She resides in Northern Ontario and lives with her husband and oldest son, Kyle.
