About the book

He had a great day. Every afternoon the teachers said it, and every afternoon we braced at our own front door. Before the Storm is the honest, unsentimental and often funny story of one family learning to understand a son who couldn’t always put his experience into words.

It’s a short book, made for the hours when a parent has little left — about two hours and ten minutes, start to finish.

If you know that front door, this book was written for you.
