This book recounts how Peyton Goddard overcame the physical and mental obstacles of severe autism. Peyton’s inability to verbally communicate or control her body led to continual misdiagnoses, pity, and segregation from normal education and society. After suffering 21 years of mistreatment, neglect, and disturbing abuse by those supposed to aid her—extended family, doctors, and teachers—Peyton is finally given the chance to express her intelligence and awareness.
