Happiness in His Eyes. A Story of Love and Disability. by Louise Inglis

Happiness in his eyes is Louise’s story of the first seven years bringing up her son Kevin, a child with special needs. At thirteen months, Kevin was diagnosed with autism, and over the next five years, Louise and Michael and Kevin’s older brother Matthew were forced to adjust to additional obstacles, including epilepsy, and a life radically different from that which they had ever imagined. Louise writes about the bleak moments and the disruption to their family life with an unflinching honesty and sincerity, but she balances it with their successes, breakthroughs and moments of joy. Hear the poignant voices of Kevin’s brother and grandmother, as you almost live their lives with them, through the heartache and happiness. Because there is happiness amidst the tension. A compelling story about a family who overcome extraordinary challenges, that will inspire and support anyone raising or involved in the care of a special needs child. Above all, it will touch your heart and enlighten your thinking.
