More Than Words: Helping Parents Promote Communication and Social Skills in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Product Information

The novel retells the famous stories of Genesis - from Jacob to Joseph - set within the historical context of the Amarna Period of Egyptian history (around 1300 BC).

When I read Jill Santopolo's The Light We Lost last year, I was blown away, the love story and the context of the relationship felt so real to me and the book made my top 10 of 2017 list. Dopo il successo de "Il giorno che aspettiamo", Jill Santopolo torna con una nuova emozionante storia.

We have a few modern classics of literary fiction, including Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections, Zadie Smith’s White Teeth, and Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible.

This is a story of a woman who has the type of wealth and privilege most of us can only dream of and yet Nina Gregory doesn't feel completely satisfied with her life. This is the 30th book, but considering Alex has survived "Kill Alex Cross" before, chances are he survives this one. She is thrust into a role she wasn't ready for, she's questioning her relationship with the man she always thought she'd have a future with, and she is discovering well-hidden secrets about her family.The story seemed to meander a little and could be heartbreaking, but it was a book centered around death, after all. It’s like knowing how many words are in the bible, if Catcher is your misfit religion like mine was.

So many times I’m clearly rooting hard for one person to “get the girl” in these types of stories, but here I genuinely liked both men in Nina’s life which made me feel for her (and them) as she struggled to chose one of them. Nina’s story is a heartbreakingly beautiful reminder to live your truth and to not apologize for it. Every time it’s Bible time, pull this special book out because it’s full of stories, pages to color and draw, beautiful paintings to learn about, and poetry to read. Nina Gregory is the main character which everyone will enjoy her personality, a smart and educated young woman struggling with different problems!

Also invaluable for SLP/Ts and other professionals who provide service to children with ASD and their families. The novel was a quick read for me and although it had its moments that made me cry, I can say that when I finished it, I was smiling because I was happy with how everything worked out even if it did have some predictable moments, but that's okay too. I didn't dislike you or anything but given the tough stuff you were dealing with in the book, I wish I would have felt more of a connection to you.

Taking over as head of the Gregory Corporation comes much sooner than Nina is ready when her father dies, and she's left feeling lost in her grief and wholly unready for something she's known she'd have to take on her entire life.When her dad died of cancer, and some family secrets spilled out, she decided to come into her true self instead of trying hard to be someone everyone expects her to be. She's studied what he wanted her to, dressed the way he thinks she should, even dated (or not dated) the men he deemed appropriate. She would live a life as the head of a wealthy New York City corporation where her image and reputation are of the utmost importance. When you read Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis and George Orwell’s Animal Farm, you’re reading some of the shortest novels (really, novellas) you’ll find in bound books, yet these alarming, still-shocking stories show you can make a huge impact in just a few words. A huge range of important human themes are explored: truth; opinion; society and ideas and, in many ways, it foresaw the problems that Europe would face after 1918.
