About the Book
Through the lens of autism, caregiving, and the messy beauty of human relationships, Friedland Untitled 2 reminds us that resilience isn't about having all the answers---it's about finding the courage to keep swimming, even when the current pulls against you.Book Synopsis
The current is threatening to pull them under.
Berry thought she had it figured out--juggling her vice-principal role while raising her sixteen-year-old autistic son, Brody. But when a promotion opportunity collides with her family's deepest needs, she must confront whether she's been fighting the wrong battles all along.
McKenna is drowning. Between caring for her grandmother with dementia, losing her swimming scholarship, and facing homelessness, the college student's carefully constructed world is crumbling. Her only lifeline? Teaching swim lessons to children with autism--including Brody.
As these two women's paths converge in the most unexpected way, they discover that sometimes the people who need saving the most are the ones who end up saving you.
A deeply moving exploration of motherhood, sacrifice, and the extraordinary connections that emerge when we're brave enough to let others see our struggles.
