“Somewhere Between Here…and Autism” Laughing with Angels, Dancing with Butterflies
New Book by Kristine Messenger inspires tolerance and strength derived from facing the challenges of living with autism. Do you believe in miracles?
Summary: Written with a gentle voice resounding with a humility and vulnerability that comes so naturally to a first time mother, “Somewhere Between Here … and Autism” unveils the truth and emotion of raising an autistic child while at the same time inspires the reader to look for the miracle and hope in every challenging situation.
West Palm Beach, FL – July 2009 – Kristine Messenger, a devoted mother and advocate for autism awareness, asserts in her new recently released book that faith, strength, and courage with angelic messages she received while learning to cope with her daughter’s autism. Although Messenger draws solely upon personal experiences, this is not an autobiography but a anecdotal account of the unconditional love for her daughter which serves as the basis for her will and determination to rise above her pain and suffering in order to laugh with the angels (forgive) and dance with the butterflies (let go). The book was released by AuthorHouse and is available through www.authorhouse.com/bookstore as well as through Amazon.com and other online bookstores.
Ms. Messenger was motivated to write this book to connect other people with their personal miracles and to share how she answered life’s difficult questions with one life lesson at a time. She encourages us to remember, “We are not alone and we are never alone.” For those readers who are concurrently living with autism this is a book of compassionate storytelling and hope. For everyone else this book serves to demystify the disability in order to overcome the fear, prejudice and intolerance of the innocent, angelic children and the struggles faced by both children and parents.
