Growing up in 1970s Wisconsin, Carolyn Hermann dreams of becoming a special-education teacher. But she has no idea how demanding her chosen vocation will be until she begins her first job: teaching autistic children in Midlands, South Carolina.Carolyn's class contains five high-functioning little boys, one of whom, Casey Ross, captures her imagination. Convinced that he is emotionally disturbed rather than autistic-partly because she believes his mother is remote and uncaring-Carolyn fantasizes about curing Casey even though her program director supports the diagnosis of autism.The following year Carolyn is assigned to teach a class of severely disabled students. Dealing with them is an enormous challenge, and she misses Casey. Burned out after two difficult years, Carolyn leaves teaching to become a homemaker and mother. Yet, despite the fulfillment she finds in this role, she feels like a failure for abandoning her students.Many years later Carolyn has returned to teaching and attends a convention where she encounters Casey's mother, now a disability-rights attorney. The two women reconnect and find that they have a great deal in common. And finally, their reunion provides the answer to a question that's haunted Carolyn for decades: Whatever happened to Casey Ross?

<p>These letters condense all the best parenting practices ever published into this one book. It is divided into sections: Life Approach, Building a Strong Family, Nitty Gritty Parenting, Difficult Circumstances, School Days, Living in a Modern Age, In Search of Your Best Self. I wrote these letters to “families” in the broadest possible sense of the word. “Family” can mean the world you live in, the people you are related to, or even just you and your cat. The "Dear Reader" letters are about my childhood having been raised in a seriously beautifully flawed family. We all long for a deep connection with those we live with and with those around us, despite the difficulties and hurts that can separate us. These letters will inspire you to bring your best self to all your relationships. They can be read in any order, by topic or from start to finish. I hope you enjoy them, as they are letters from me to you, straight from my heart.</p>
