520    "In this soul-stirring debut memoir, Maria Mutch explores 
       the miraculous power that care and communication have in 
       the face of the deep, personal isolation that often comes 
       with disability. A chronicle of the witching hours between
       midnight and six a.m., this meditative book takes place 
       during the two-year period in which Mutch's son Gabriel, 
       who is autistic and also has Down syndrome, rarely slept 
       through the night. In this tapestry composed of interwoven
       memories, we see both Gabriel's difficult childhood and 
       Maria's introduction to the world of multiple disability 
       parenting. As a counterpoint to Gabriel's figurative 
       isolation is the story of Admiral Richard Byrd, the polar 
       explorer who journeyed alone into the Antarctic wilderness
       in the 1930s. His story creates a shared and powerful 
       language for the experience of feeling alone. In these 
       three characters--mother, son, and explorer--Mutch reveals
       overlapping and layered themes of solitude that, far from 
       driving us apart, enlighten, uplift, and connect."--
