My husband saw me at a party and decided he wanted to marry me.
Melanie Marsh, an American living in London, is married to Stephen, the perfect Englishman, who knew the minute he saw her that she was to be his future. But when their youngest child is diagnosed with autism their marriage starts to unravel at great speed. Stephen runs back into the arms of his previous girlfriend while Melanie does everything in her power to help her son and keep her family together.
And then one day Melanie hears about a man named Andy O′Connor, who calls himself a ′play therapist′. He has a client list so long she can barely get him on the phone. Some say he′s a maverick and a con artist of the first degree, but when he walks into the house and starts playing with her child, Melanie knows she′s found the key to her son′s success, and possibly to her own happiness.
DANIEL ISN′T TALKING is a passionate and darkly humorous novel that explores a mother′s determination to help her child. A love story for grown ups, it somehow extends its wisdom far beyond the parameters of disability and into the substance of human nature itself. A tense, moving novel that will make you laugh out loud even as it breaks your heart.
