On the Bright Side : A Mother's Story of Love and Healing Through Her Daughter's Autism

Discover the secret to happiness, even in the midst of unpredictable chaos. When life spiraled out of control, Suzie Carpenter began looking for a better way than trying to control the uncontrollable. In 2001, when her daughter Kelly was diagnosed with autism, celiac disease, and over twenty-five food intolerances, Suzie embraced parenting and food in a new way. Hand-in-hand, Suzie became her daughter's partner on the journey to healthier eating. Driven by the power of love and the challenge to overcome autism, together they discovered a Zen place, a way of being that brings together body, mind, and spirit to create a feeling of inner peace. On the Bright Side beautifully describes how to navigate the demands of having a child with autism, teaching us that life's greatest wonders are often packaged inside the unexpected.
