Michael Schiesser and Neelama Eyres share a unique story of the healing journey that ultimately led them across the country to live together as divorced friends raising their son. Told in alternating chapters from "his" perspective and "hers," the authors chronicle their unplanned pregnancy and the birth of their special needs child; the unravelling of their marriage amidst the hardships and gifts of special needs parenting; and the role that an exotic love affair played in the story. With unusual honesty, compassion, and humor, they share their quest to answer one of life's most fundamental questions: What is love? For anyone struggling to divorce with compassion, to survive the demands of parenting, or to figure out how to form meaningful connections with other human beings, this book offers a powerful model.
