Rock and a Hard Place - Livro de bolso

This gripping novel draws the reader into the chaotic, exasperating, and at times humorous world of Lucy, a mother of three, the oldest of whom has severe autism. Nine-year-old Hollie's erratic and often destructive behavior is putting a strain on Lucy's marriage and beginning to negatively affect her younger children. In trying to secure the best possible educational situation for her daughter, Lucy must choose between sending her daughter away to a boarding school where she has the best chance to learn and keeping her at home with her family, but where she will make very little progress. While faced with this decision that places Lucy between the proverbial rock and a hard place, she meets Joel, a man who has offered to help her secure the money she needs to hire specialists for Hollie's due process hearing. Lucy is now not only forced to make the most difficult decision of her daughter's young life but the most difficult decision of her own life as well. She must choose between an affair with a man who makes her feel alive and her faltering marriage and family.
