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."--
