E is for Maggie: Loving a Daughter with Autism

by Susan D. Dagenais

Overview

E is for Maggie is a memoir about love, adaptation, and the search for happiness. Susan bravely shares her inner thoughts and feelings, mistakes, and the difficult decisions she had to make to ensure her family was as safe and fulfilled as possible.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to raising children, and caring for her daughter with severe autism in the 1980s and 90s presented challenges that often felt isolating and insurmountable. Susan came to learn: "You have to keep knocking till you get the help you need." Today, Maggie is a living testimony of love that never gave up.
