Finding light in the darkness. Courage in the face of adversity. Hope in the practice of surrender.

When Susan Baker's infant son died in her arms, and her firstborn child was diagnosed with severe autism a mere twelve months later, her entire experience of motherhood changed. Given little hope for their son's future, Susan and her husband began their emotional journey of navigating an unfamiliar, often turbulent path. In this poignant memoir, Susan shares how believing in the possibility of more for their child led to a life-changing discovery that unlocked their son's innermost thoughts and insights. What followed was not only extraordinary but also a testimony to the power of perseverance and love within a growing family, and a stunning example of the light that can come after dark.

Susan delivers an honest and unflinching account of personal transformation while raising a nonspeaking autistic child within complex family dynamics and societal limitations. A Life Beyond Words will inspire hope and compassion far beyond the world of autism.

Susan Baker is a passionate speaker, writer, and advocate. She lives in Toronto, Canada, with her husband, Stuart, and their children, Andrew and Abby.
