The Scenic Route by Leigh Merryday Porch Pdf

Reflections on autism, parenting, and embracing destinations unknown. In The Scenic Route, Leigh Merryday Porch offers insight into how parents of children with autism can redefine hope in a world that often has a narrow view of what hope is supposed to look like for their kids. As an educator and expert on autism spectrum disorders as well as the mother of a son who is autistic, Porch knows well the pressure parents of special needs children feel to overcome any and all challenges their children face. But not all disabilities result in heartwarming viral stories. According to Porch, we must write our own stories about what is possible for our kids and love them just as they are. A chronicle of one family’s journey from the shock and uncertainty of a severe autism diagnosis to acceptance and advocacy, in this beautifully written book Porch shares the lessons she has learned about charting your own course. From learning to cope with sleepless, worry-filled nights to asking friends and family for the help and support you actually need, she offers readers a road map for helping our children thrive while still taking the time to stop and enjoy the beauty in life’s unforeseen detours.

The Scenic Route by G. A. Johnson Pdf

In the summer of 1999, a forgotten age before smartphones and the wisdom of Wikipedia, two friends trek from the Rocky Mountains to the Louisiana bayous in search of a cure for their postcollege let-down blues. Ready to fail for the sake of change, Jon Colefield signs on to a doomed mission for his company just to be near a girl he's only met once-at the New Orleans airport bar. Jon sets out for the bayou like a knight on quest, hoping the girl will be his Holy Grail. Len had just come off his latest business failure and finds himself living on Jon's couch. He's got nothing better to do than ride along with Jon until he has a stoned epiphany (a "Lenpiphany") while watching Smokey and The Bandit. Instead of loading Jon's furniture into the moving truck, he sells it, and buys 400 cases of Courz [SIC] hoping to make a quick buck down south. Jon won't find out until they've driven halfway to their destination. Len won't find out that Courz IS sold east of Texarkana until they reach Louisiana. The drive becomes an odyssey wrought with near disasters and populated with everything from the KKK to Chupacabras. When the worst is thought to be over, Len loses the trailer hauling Jon's car on the highway in Dallas. Or so he thinks... After Jon throws a left hook to Len's jaw and a tire blows on the moving truck, the two separate outside Shreveport. It will take a truckload of Creoles, the Voodoo King of New Orleans, a fishing contest, and an alligator to bring the friends back together. All that they have endured culminates in a new and final mission: saving the family marina of Jon's new love interest from foreclosure.

The Scenic Route by Binnie Kirshenbaum Pdf

Divorced, alone, and unexpectedly unemployed, Sylvia Landsman flees to Italy, where she meets Henry, a wistful, married, middle-aged expatriate. Taking off on a grand tour of Europe bankrolled with his wife's money, Henry and Sylvia follow a circuitous route around the continent—as Sylvia entertains Henry with stories of her peculiar family and her damaged friends, of dead ducks and Alma Mahler. Her narrative is a tapestry of remembrances and regrets...and her secret shame: a small, cowardly sin of omission. Yet when the opportunity arises for Sylvia and Henry to do something small but brave, the refrain "if only" returns to haunt her, leaving Sylvia with one more story of love lived and lost.

The Scenic Route by Devan Sipher Pdf

Take a delightful detour with this novel by the author of The Wedding Beat and a writer of The New York Times's "Vows" column... The shortest distance between soul mates isn't always a straight line.... When Austin Gittleman first met Naomi Bloom, they were grammar school classmates and she pasted pictures of him in her Barbie Dreamhouse. Those days are long gone. Austin is a Midwestern doctor who always tries to do the right thing--even if it often turns out wrong. Naomi is a Miami pastry chef with a taste for adventure. They seem to have nothing in common. But that doesn't stop Austin from falling head over heels when they reconnect at a mutual friend's seaside wedding. Only, falling hard doesn't guarantee happily ever after, or even a second date. Tropical storms and mechanical malfunctions contribute to a series of miscommunications and missed connections that lead Austin and Naomi away from each other and back again. In The Scenic Route, life is what happens on the way to where you're going. It's unpredictable and inconvenient, but it can be pretty wonderful when you bring the right person along for the ride.
