Shirley J. Adult Fiction Suspense/Murder Mystery Autism, Experimental Treatment, Tragedy
Miracle Creek: A Novel by Angie Kim 368 pages
The parent of an autistic child finds an experimental treatment that is said to be a miracle cure for multiple conditions and one of those is autism. A single mother beside herself dealing with the outbursts of her autistic son (her husband left them because he couldn't deal with it) is introduced to an experimental treatment done in a hyperbaric chamber that claims to be a godsend in calming down the erratic melt downs autistic patients (and by proxy their caretakers) endure. It is a murder mystery that will have your blood pumping from the suspense. It is a white knuckle ride with the Mother going through resentment, hating her life and her son for the loss of her marriage. Omgosh! And the treatment is actually real and happening in Virginia. Good story and first novel by Angie Kim. It is really intense so I recommend this one for mature teens but more likely adults on up.
