A mother's love knows no boundaries, and a mother always
loves her children even though sometimes it's hard to like
them very much.
For attorney Danielle Parkman, her son Max has been the
center of her attention all his life, but when those
dreaded teenage years hit, Max begins to become a person
Danielle doesn't know. Max is very intelligent even though
he has been diagnosed as autistic, but when Danielle
discovers his journal where he talks of committing suicide,
she knows that he is beyond her help. But she has
difficulty accepting the decision of the experts at an
adolescent psychiatric facility that Max is deeply
disturbed and dangerous. Then Max is accused of murdering a
fellow patient and suddenly Danielle is fighting for her
son's life, for his very innocence. But how far will she go
to save her son, or will her son be taken from her forever?
Danielle is determined to uncover the real story behind the
murder and help capture the real killer.
In SAVING MAX, debut author Antoinette van Heugten draws
upon personal experience as both an attorney and the mother
of a child with autism to bring a realistic touch to this
mesmerizing story of a mother's love for her child.
Crafting a powerful and suspenseful thriller that is
reminiscent of John Grisham's work, van Heugten captures
the heartbreak, the determination and the very grit of a
mother who is determined to be her child's best advocate
even when the odds seem insurmountable. SAVING MAX is a
powerful novel that will leave an impact on readers long
after the last sentence is read.
A distressed mother places her mentally disturbed teenage
son in an esteemed psyschiatric hospital for diagnosis and
treatment, but she fears she's made a terrible mistake when
his behavior turns alarmingly violent.
