Home Author Archive For Librarians Authors: Get Included Antoinette van Heugten Dear Reader, After twelve long years of edits and rewrites, I am so pleased to finally see SAVING MAX make its way to bookshelves this fall. A page-turning thriller, SAVING MAX follows the arduous journey of Danielle Parkman, a single mother and lawyer living in Manhattan, whose son teenage Max, has Asperger's syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism. Lately his behavior has become violent, and when Danielle discovers Max is using drugs and has become suicidal, she is left with no other choice than to admit him to a psychiatric hospital for a full evaluation. But when a patient at the hospital is brutally murdered, Max becomes the prime suspect. Danielle knows that finding the true killer is the only way to save her son. Her unshakable faith in Max forces her to do everything a mother would do to save her son – no matter the overwhelming evidence against him; no matter the risk. As a mother of two sons with autism, I have always been very interested in providing support to other parents of children with autism. My boys grew up in Houston during the 1980's, a time when autism was not widely understood and there were very limited resources either for them or for us as parents. It is my hope that Saving Max delights readers, while bringing awareness to this increasingly common disorder. I am giving away five free copies of SAVING MAX!
