The book is a story of an autistic boy who was taken from his mom and dad at about age 9 and was placed in foster care. The boy, Lincoln, had difficulties socially and emotionally in the processing and transferring of what and how he was feeling and thinking and would project his frustration through several unacceptable behaviors. He wanted to return to live with his mom and dad, but several unfortunate events were hindering him from doing so. His zone of transient comfort were three caregivers and the foster home he spent most of his years, but his situation will soon be changed.
"I think that mental challenges are complex, and they are real; they are not easily understood and it can become frustrating; this book highlights just that," Dyce shares. "I would love that after reading this book, readers will be a little more knowledgeable about autism and further develop care, love and consideration for those with mental challenges."
