Daniel Isn't Talking : A Novel by Leimbach, Marti - 2006

Toronto, ON, Canada: McClelland & Stewart, 2006 Very enjoyable, often funny love story in its own right between a play therapist and the mother of one of his clients, a young boy who is diagnosed as autistic during the course of the story. It will ring very true for those who have been touched by disability. For those a little concerned about the ethics, he is cautious and well behaved as his feelings gradually develop, and he is also convincingly very talented and dedicated to the boy. Near fine condition save some light soiling on page top edge, first edition and printing, uclipped beautiful dust jacket. maybe read twice very carefully (once by me!).
