What do you do when your dream for a ‘happy family’ isn’t working out?Where do you go when no one can help your child?When Cecily Paterson's son was diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), Cecily’s life was thrown into chaos. Daily life became a daily struggle and everything she’d ever thought about love seemed to be turned upside down.In the end, she’d have to learn to trust God, learn to love, and do just as much learning and growing as her beautiful little boy._____________________________________After her son’s ASD diagnosis, Cecily went looking for a book that would give her not only practical help, but also emotional support and spiritual solace. She never found it, so she wrote it. Read Love Tears & Autism if you have a child with a disability, or if your friend or family member lives with autism. Or just read it if you like a good real-life story where God's grace shines through.Love Tears & Autism won third prize in the 2012 Australian Christian Book of the Year (ACBOY) awards. This second edition includes updated and revised resources and a ‘Where are we now’ chapter.

What do you say when your friend's baby dies? What do you say when her second baby is tragically stillborn? Is there any 'right' way to respond to grief? And when you're the one who's suffering, how do you get through the day? What do you say to the God you follow; the God who could have prevented such tragedy? Hannah Boland and Cecily Paterson wrote letters to each other for a year after Hannah's second baby's funeral. This candid Christian correspondence is sometimes tragic, sometimes wry and often awkward, but it is also honest, real and hopeful.
