"For years I told myself that Kenny would grow out of his autism. Of course, he didn't, because autism isn't just a phase, it's a disorder and it took me years to accept that."

A shocking revelation means Kirsty Burnham can never trust her husband again. She realizes she has to raise her autistic son single-handedly and tries her best to be a good mother. But Kenny pines for his father, who he adores, and becomes more and more distant from Kirsty. She is forced to admit what no mother wants to admit. 
Should she let her son live with her husband, or force Kenny, 
 child who depends on routine, to deal with a split custody arrangement?
This is a story not only about coping with a child diagnosed with autism, but also about a mother realizing she has to love her son for who he is.
