Louder Than Words is about a mother’s determination to heal her child. Jenny McCarthy has done it again with another book you can’t put down. She writes like she’s talking to her best friend, inspiring the reader with stories of strong maternal instincts during the most trying time of her life.

Similar to her other books, you can read it in a couple hours and it will make you laugh and cry at times. However, this book has a much different tone; this one is like watching an action film where the frantic mother is in a race against time to save her son. You don’t need to have an autistic child to appreciate this book; you just need to be a mom.

Her book reveals another world that most people are not aware of: a world in which moms are essentially abandoned by the medical community as they frantically search for answers to their child’s illness, where conventional doctors lead them nowhere and they must rely on each other for help. McCarthy strives to reveal to the world what life with autism is like and she does an incredible job. Despite the controversy surrounding her stance on vaccines and their possible link to autism, she says very little on the subject and instead educates the reader on autism, its increasing frequency, theories of its origin and most importantly, how to treat it when possible. No doubt, she will have you questioning the medical industry and autism’s link to vaccines, but she doesn’t dwell on these things. A group of mothers with autistic children asked her to be their voice and she has, with an unforgettable book that educates and provides the information that she prayed she had when her son was diagnosed.
