"Karen Hartley's writing is riveting and real. Her honest account of living and succeeding thorough the rearing of an autistic child will inspire any reader while providing comfort, solace, and wisdom for family members and friends of a person with special needs. Reading this book will leave you wishing for more works of detailed authenticity and hope."

"Taylor's story is about so much more than a remarkable child faced with autism and Muscular dystrophy. This is a story about faith, the steadfastness of God's love, perseverance and the importance of family. This is also a love letter to the countless individuals within our communities, from our teachers to our police and fire safety officers who step up day after day to make an impact on our lives and the lives of our children."

"Taylor's story is both personal and passionate for us. As neighbors and friends to the Hartley's, we saw first-hand Taylor's determination and grit and the family's love for him.
We experienced and witnessed so many of the events recounted in this book. Taylor's story is worth being told and read over and over again. His story is both an inspiration and a warning to all of us. It is an inspiration to all of us to put our minor difficulties in perspective and press on. It is also a warning that not everyone we encounter has a pure heart and good motives. You would do well to read Taylor's story and glean insight, encouragement and hope from it!"
