The period just prior to the birth of a child is a time of profound personal transformation for expectant parents. Expecting Teryk: An Exceptional Path to Parenthood is an intimate exploration, written in the form of a letter from a parent to her future son, that reclaims a rite of passage that modern society would strip of its magic.
Written in the form of a letter to her son, the author, who has autism, considers the ways her disabilities might impact her parenting. She also candidly narrates her experience of becoming a parent as part of a lesbian couple.
