Resumen del Editor

In this warm and winning first novel, a recently divorced woman rises to the challenge and experiences the exhilaration of independence with the unlikely help of her brother with Asperger's, who she takes in to help pay the rent.

Seven months after her husband leaves her, Lana is still reeling. Being single means she is in charge of every part of her life, and for the first time in 19 years she can do things the way she always wanted to do them. But that also leaves her with all the responsibility. With two teenage children - Byron and Abby, who are dealing with their own struggles - in a house she can barely afford on her solo salary, her new life is a balancing act made even more complicated when her brother, Matt, moves in.

Matt has Asperger's syndrome, which makes social situations difficult for him and flexibility and change nearly impossible. He eats only certain foods in a certain order and fixates on minor details. When Lana takes him in, he is self-medicating with drugs and alcohol to numb his active mind enough to sleep at night. Adding Matt's regimented routine to her already disrupted household seems like the last thing Lana needs, but her brother's unique attention to detail makes him an invaluable addition to the family: he sees things differently.

Complex, smart, and genuinely moving, The Art of Adapting is a feel-good story that celebrates the small moments and small changes that make one big life.

A Targeted Novel - Single Mom With Teenagers

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Provided the friend fit the target of the novel, I would recommend it highly. The single mom who is trying to cope with the daily drama of teenage kids needs all the support they can find. This book would provide some helpful advice and rays of hope.

Any additional comments?

A significant character has Asperger's, and the book provides some healthy advice on how to live closely with someone who has the malady.
