About the Book

A vulnerable young autistic woman. A vindictive sister. A clueless father. A determined life coach. Intent on restarting her tutoring business in a warmer climate, Jennie Spallone, a retired special education teacher turned life coach, moves with her husband from Chicago to a small town in North Carolina. Once there, she contracts with Mark Stone to teach independent-living skills to Akira, his high-functioning autistic daughter. Reeling from the loss of his wife, Mark hopes the life coach will allievate his worries about Akira's future when he dies. Upon meeting her 26-year-old client, Jennie wonders about the young woman's withdrawn demeanor. She soon discovers a toxic relationship exists between Akira and her abusive sister. But what part does Mark play in this drama? Walk alongside Jennie as she coaches Akira to respect herself by casting aside false beliefs. Akira will rise to her true potential. All it takes is Smashing Castles.
