Paper in the Wind: Autism in the Wake of Tragedy is a
memorable story written by Olivia Mason-Charles.
Alexa McKenzie is not
just an autistic child. She is also a survivor of a horrific incident. His
father, Michael, decides to leave the past and move to Seattle with his
daughter. With endless encouragement and moral support from his parents,
Michael raises his daughter alone through series of therapies. With infinite
patience and unconditional love, he breathes and lives for Alexa. After a few
years, Alexa meets Jonathan and they become the best of friends.
This is not just a book
about autism. It is a celebration of life, love and friendship. It shows how
selflessness can get through the thickest of barriers and the most complicated
of hurdles. It is a lovely mixture of love between father and daughter, between
father and son, between men friends, between girl friends, and between boy and
girl.
I am so glad I read this
book and I am so thankful to the author for sharing this beautiful story.
