A must-read for all parents.

Review Quotes




Praise for Somewhere Over the Sea:
"A poetic memoir . . . chronicling the love between a father and his autistic son . . . [Freihow] writes movingly of his family's day-to-day experiences . . . will prove particularly valuable for families touched by autism, but anyone interested in an intimate, finely crafted family memoir will find this hard to put down."
-- Publishers Weekly, starred review
