As his inner-turmoil and pain is replaced with a sense of peace, calmness, and serenity, Steve begins receiving messages and visions that involve his son. But it is only after he realizes that the miraculous intervention has gifted him with an unusual ability to help others that Steve discovers it comes with a price he never could have anticipated.

Received this book thru Goodreads Giveaway. Beautiful book. Taylor son of Steve and Gina Wilson is having behaviorial disorder. The family is facing some struggles,challenges. This is explained nicely in this book. Over all a must read.
I have to admit, I was on the verge of crying at some parts.It is one of those books I want as many as people as possible to read, to try and understand people with autism a bit better, and get rid of misconceptions.
