A testament to uncommon devotion and common possibilities

"Why would someone adopt a badly abused, nonspeaking, six-year-old from foster care?" So the author was asked at the outset of his adoption-as-a-first-resort adventure Part love story, part political manifesto about "living with conviction in a cynical time," the memoir traces the development of DJ, a boy written off as profoundly retarded and now, six years later, earning all "A's" at a regular school. Neither a typical saga of autism nor simply a challenge to expert opinion, Reasonable People illuminates the belated emergence of a self in language. And it does so using DJ's own words, expressed through the once discredited but now resurgent technique of facilitated communication. In this emotional page-turner, DJ reconnects with the sister from whom he was separated, begins to type independently, and explores his experience of disability, poverty, abandonment, and sexual abuse. "Try to remember my life," he says on his talking computer, and remember he does in the most extraordinarily perceptive and lyrical way.

Asking difficult questions about the nature of family, the demise of social obligation, and the meaning of neurological difference, Savarese argues for a reasonable commitment to human possibility and caring..

This is a book about mystery--the mystery of divine love, the mystery of human connection, and the mystery of a reality that exists beyond our five senses. In A Child of Eternity, you will learn about a remarkable young girl who, against impossible odds, brings us a message from God, a message the world desperately needs to hear.
On December 8, 1981, Kristi Jorde gave birth to her first child, a beautiful baby girl named Adriana. But as the months and years went by, Kristi began to wonder if something could be wrong with her daughter. Experts insisted Adri was normal. Not until she was four years old did an astute doctor diagnose Adri's problem. Adri is autistic.
Kristi soon learned about Facilitated Communication, a keyboard technique that allows autistic people to communicate with others. Adri's first attempts at FC astonished her mother; clearly, Adri had long been aware of everything around her. Then something happened that was so startling, so breathtaking, that Kristi could barely believe it. Adri began to tell Kristi about her past lives, about Jesus, about the concept of spiritual masters--and about the guides that were available to help Kristi on her own path to enlightenment.
Confused at first, Kristi was soon overcome by the authority and truth that emanated from Adri's writings. The body of knowledge that Adri possessed, and was now sharing with her mother, broke all the boundaries that Kristi had always held. Adri's determination to send forth a profound message of God's love to the world was a triumph. And now the story of her journey and the wisdom she reveals can be shared with all who will listen.
A Child of Eternity is a dramatic and powerful narrative about a special young girl who is part seer, part angel. As we share her amazing story, we too are called to an awakening of the spirit. Anyone seeking evidence of God's presence in the world will not fail to be moved by the truth of A Child of Eternity..
