Worth Saving (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781635258905)

Worth Saving is about what one family went through while raising a special-needs child--the humor, the tragedy, and the instance of not knowing what to do when all hope is lost. Where do we turn to when it seems that the world has turned against a five-year-old boy? What happens to the family dynamics? How does a marriage survive, and what does one do with the other child? What do the in-laws and grandparents think?

Many people try to tell you how to discipline your child even though they don't know him or us. How we learned what types of discipline works and what does not.

Questions such as, "Where will this child end up?" "Is there any future for him?" "Why does he do the things he does?" I didn't even know my own son. The depth of emotion when asked to leave three churches because of his behavior, and how one eighth-grade teacher gave us hope and light.

Worth Saving talks about how he came close to death several times and of a stranger who told him to get off the railroad tracks. No one knew who this person was, and no one had seen him before. How and what is he doing today?
