a mother, her autistic child, and the music that transformed their lives
by Cathleen Lewis
This is not normally the kind of book I read. I'm not sure I would have given it a second glance if it wasn't for being a blog reviewer for Thomas Nelson, I probably wouldn't have read it. But I am so glad I did. It is an incredible story about a mother's love for her son and her faith (and lack of) in the power of God.
Cathleen Lewis really shows what it was like to have a child who was both autistic and blind. The long days, the lack of understanding, the pleading with God. "DON'T... YOU... CARE?" she pleads with God at one point. But there is also joy. There is the music that her son is able to play. And her growing ability to "Walk by faith, not by sight".
Cathleen is honest about her faith. There was no big turning point where she all of a sudden had faith and that was that. It was with growth and progress that she was able to accept what God had given her in this life. "I just don't get it. I don't get what it's all for." Cathleen tells her brother in the book. His reply, "It's simple. It's to glorify God."
