Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules at Books and a Beat. Anyone can play along.

I read Paper in the Wind: Peeling back the lifespan of autism in the wake of tragedy by Olivia Mason-Charles a couple of weeks ago, but it has stuck with me, so I’ll post a teaser this week.

One Sunday morning, I was walking up the stairs when Alexa said, “Dada.” I damn near passed out. When I regained my senses, I grabbed her and ran down the stairs so fast. I was half way to the ice cream store before I realized that I was barefoot and in my pajamas. I did not care. My daughter had said, “Dada.” I was freaking out!

Paper in the Wind, Olivia Mason-Charles

Paper in the Wind is a compassionate and riveting story depicting a single father’s dedication to his daughter. In the midst of the overwhelming struggles that accompanied autism, he continues to persevere. Her father’s love enabled her to overcome insurmountable obstacles, discovered the power of love and embraced the gift of life.
