When Annie Rushton heads west to keep house for her older brother on his Montana homestead, she expects to leave marriage and motherhood behind her. After all, the husband she walked out on at twenty, after the birth of their daughter sent her into a spiral of panic and depression, has divorced her and forbidden contact with their baby, citing fears for his own and the child’s safety. In 1911, a record like that should keep most men at bay.Adam Fielding also has no interest in marriage, but he’s drawn to Annie from the start, despite the frequent clashes of will between them. When her older brother sells them the homestead and skips town, Annie and Adam settle into a partnership that is as economically successful as it is romantic. But fate intervenes to prevent them from having a child, and with each disaster the return of Annie’s depression drives her farther apart from the husband she loves. In a world that understands psychological conditions as lapses in morality, the judgment passed on Annie is harsh and unyielding. Yet somehow she manages to hold on to hope. Ellen Notbohm’s thought-provoking and beautifully written debut novel, The River by Starlight (She Writes Press, 2018), dives into the depths of family life and individual psychosis and uncovers a cast of complex and compelling characters that will keep you entranced to the last page. C. P. Lesley is the author of seven novels, including Legends of the Five Directions (The Golden Lynx, The Winged Horse, The Swan Princess, and The Vermilion Bird), a historical fiction series set in 1530s Russia, during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible.

Raising a child with autism is a constant learning and teaching process. Not only do the parents of a child with autism have to learn from their child, they also have to teach the community how to coexist with their child. Ellen Notbohm has been learning, teaching, and sharing with the autism community since her now 17-year old was identified at age three. Ellen has appeared on the Autism Briefing Room over the past three years and I have enjoyed the visits. In this show Ellen tells us about her new book “1001 Great Ideas for Teaching and Raising Children with Autism and Aspergers “ a revised and expanded 2nd edition and gives us a peak of what it was in like the olden days of autism treatment 13 years ago as compared to now.
