Harmony

Fiction by Carolyn Parkhurst.

https://www.barnesandnoble.com

Alexandra Hammond is near the end of her rope in dealing with her "on the spectrum" daughter, 14-year-old Tilly. Then a charismatic man called Scott Bean offers her a hope of helping Tilly, but it will require her family to change everything and commit to a completely new way of life. Alexandra and her husband are hopeful, but you can tell from the beginning that this is not going to work out.

The story is told from the perspective of Iris, Tilly's younger and "neurotypical" sister, and (interestingly) in the second person from Alexandra's point of view, which draws the reader in.

It's a really good story with fascinating characters. There's a blurb from Jodi Picoult on the cover, who is one of my favorite authors. and this writer reminds me a lot of her. I recommend this one!
