On the Bright Side

Discover the secret to happiness, even in the midst of unpredictable chaos. When life spiraled out of control, Suzie Carpenter began looking for a better way than trying to control the uncontrollable. In 2001, when her daughter Kelly was diagnosed with autism, celiac disease, and over twenty-five food intolerances, Suzie embraced parenting and food in a new way. Hand-in-hand, Suzie became her daughter’s partner on the journey to healthier eating. Driven by the power of love and the challenge to overcome autism, together they discovered a Zen place, a way of being that brings together body, mind, and spirit to create a feeling of inner peace. On the Bright Side beautifully describes how to navigate the demands of having a child with autism, teaching us that life’s greatest wonders are often packaged inside the unexpected.
