Grace, Under Pressure

“London-based Walker, a Reuters reporter, marathon runner, and popular Asperger's and parenting blogger, offers an honest and inspiring portrait of parenting a child with the disorder....Parents of children with Asperger's or other spectrum disorders will find information, validation, and hope in Walker's detailed and moving portrait of a mother/'Aspie' daughter relationship.”
— Publishers Weekly

“A riveting personal account of the beautiful and brutal realities of parenting a child with special needs....Walker’s writing is electrically charged with emotion and the will-to-win that she relied on to deal with it all....Parents of children who are different face a world of closed doors. Walker tells readers, not just how she opened those doors, but also how she motivated herself to keep going back into battle until she did.”
— Anna Jedrziewski, Retailing Insight

“Articulate and affecting.”
— The Bookseller

“This is a book about Asperger’s syndrome and a book about running, but it’s so much more than that. At heart it’s a love story, testament to the power of a parent’s fierce devotion to her child. Any parent will see in it something of themselves.”
— Gaby Hinsliff, journalist and author of Half a Wife

“Grace, Under Pressure is a beautiful book. It tugged on my heartstrings in the most orchestral fashion.”
— Kathy Lette, author of The Boy Who Fell to Earth, Puberty Blues, and Dead Sexy
