Violet M. ★★★★★

I read this in two sittings, the way Fields-Meyer writes about Ezra’s early diagnosis and his own shift from grief to acceptance feels so real you forget it’s a memoir. The chapter where he describes letting go of the son he imagined and embracing the one in front of him genuinely stuck with me for

Scarlett ★★★★★

This book really helped me understand what it means to truly support a child, not try to fix them. The early childhood scenes hit me especially hard, the way Tom describes choosing love over loss. I'm grateful for that perspective.

Robert ★★★★★

I read this in two sittings because I couldn't put it down. The chapter where Ezra starts to find his own voice really moved me, and I loved how the father's perspective evolves without being preachy.
