"A family on the brink--an autistic child, his determined mother, and her distant father--learn that when your world changes, you find out who you really are"--

Piper Hart has poured all her energy into raising her son, Fred, while her husband, Isaac, has poured all his energy into a career defending the wrongly accused. She's always told herself her son is perfectly normal, but at nine Fred is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Fred has a fascination with the gruesome details of World War II, which he knows by heart. But besides his mother and his grandfather's border collie, Chuck Yeager, Fred is an island. Lance "the Silver Eagle" Whitman-- Piper's father, a national hero, and a raging narcissist-- suffers a heart attack that leaves him in a coma. When Lance's wife walks out, Piper chooses to bring Lance home, and he begins to connect with Fred. -- from back cover
