It's a hooker, for sure. Sometimes it get deep, but never plodding. I was hoping it would show clodfobble naked, and it sure did...to the bone. Honest introspection and the turmoil of self against the world.

The split of the kid's mothers was genius, making the push-pull clear to the reader.

Yes, there's no happily ever after ending, but it left me convinced everyone in the family is going to be OK.

One of my imaginary friends in Canada worked for years in the administration of their version of child protective services. Now retired, she's working with an ad hoc group to stop the government from cutting off services to Autistic children over five. She's anxious to read this story after I mentioned it, so I sent her a copy. Hopefully it will give her more insight.
