Cowboy & Wills

Cowboy & Wills by Monica Holloway is a new memoir of a boy who is diagnosed with autism (asd) at the age of three. Wills is incredibly high functioning but is bothered by certain textures and loud noises. Stopping at nothing to help their child succeed and convinced that the unconditional love of a pet would help him, they finally found Cowboy, a female golden pup, for Christmas when he was in kindergarten.

This honest memoir will make your heart ache. At once you’ll cry for her as a fellow mother and want to choke her for being such a twit. It’s an easy read that will make you laugh, make you cry and leave you full of hope.

Win it! We’re giving away a signed copy of Cowboy & Wills to one reader who comments before noon mst on December 31, 2009. Happy New Year reading!

   I’d love to read his story. Autism is common as well as commonly misdiagnosed. Many autistic children are exceptional children capable of excellence. Thank you for this opportunity.

    I too am very interested in any information on Autism as it is everywhere. The more information out there and the more people read it, the more educated us/the public is towards this.

    Thanks for the chance to win this awesome book.

    Happy New Yeat T.O.P. readers!
