From a distance, Felix Fitzwilliam, son of an old English family, is a good husband and father. But, obsessed with with order and routine, he's a prisoner of perfection. Disengaged from the emotional life of his North Carolina family, Felix has let his wife, Ella, deal with their special-needs son by herself.
A talented jewelry designer turned full-time mother, Ella is the family rock... until her heart attack shatters their carefully structured existence. Now Harry, a gifted teen grappling with the caos of Tourette's, confronts a world outside parents' control, one that tests his desire for independence.
As Harry searches for his future, and Ella adapts to the limits of her failing health, Felix struggles with his past and present roles. to prevent the family from being ripped apart, they must each bend with the inevitability of change and reinforce the ties that bind.
This is a great book, that make me want to search more about Tourettes and some behavior disabilities. Having a son with ADHD make me understand this mom. It's not easy for use but it's much harder for the kid... Great story, highly recommended.
