    5.0 out of 5 stars Emotional and powerful
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2016
    This was the first book I’ve read by author Terra James. It’s an emotional one; short, but powerful. It is about a child who suffers from autism … just like the author’s daughter does. I don’t know much about this disorder, but I’ve taken some insight from this novella that will not soon leave me.

    James wrote this in a child’s perspective. This made the story all that more impactful to me. It is like we are reading this little girl’s journal, and we are seeing inside her heart and her mind as she struggles to cope on a daily basis with the rigors of this difficult disorder.

    At first, the child hates to write. She believes that ‘talking to a book’ is absolutely ridiculous, and doesn’t understand how such a thing could be helpful. She does, however, write—flowing poetry and song lyrics that come from her very soul. She shares some of her mother’s poetry, as well, and by the end of this short journal, we find that she has come to terms with the idea of writing. It has helped her, after all. Words are not her enemy.

    This was a heartbreaking read … but I feel better for having gotten to read it. I’m a mother myself. Not every mom deals with something as difficult as autism, but every mother knows how trying it is to see her children experience frustrating situations that they struggle to control.

    Parents who have children with autism should give Speaking Emotions a read. Actually, parents—all parents—would benefit from this book. I know I did.

    Speaking Emotions is a powerful book. It’s about the author and her daughter’s journey with autism. I have worked with autistic children in my career as a teacher and empathize wholeheartedly. These children communicate with the world differently whether verbal or nonverbal. Their world is different than everyone else’s.
    The book is written as a journal with entries and poems for each day. The naked emotion is riveting and sucked me in. It’s a short book and I read it a couple times because it was so compelling. I felt like I was living in her world. Excellent! Loved it!

    Though this book can be read in a half hour I would suggest that you read it at least twice, it is deeper than it at first appears to be, and also for a couple of other reasons.

    First of all, this book is based on Ms.James experience with her autistic daughter. Due to the fact that I have worked with autistic children, I understand the struggles they are face each day. In my personal experience with teachers that are supposedly trained in "Special Needs," I found some loose their patience too quickly. When you have the distinct honor and yes it is an honor to help achieve their goals, patience is a virtue. You must see beyond the "meltdowns," and you cannot use your physical strength, instead you must use your power of words.

    There are varying degrees in autism, and of course no one wants to see a child hurt themselves, but as is represented in this book, it seems one teacher forced the hand of a parent to go for home schooling, just because this teacher used force, instead of words, belittled a child in front of the class so badly, that this young, beautiful child should be reduced to tears, made me cry as well. If we don't want children to bully other children we as adults need to lead by example.

    For parents that have an autistic child, take the time to buy this book. but hang on to one word always, "Hope." You'll find days where you get frustrated, but isn't that normal for all parents, of children with, or without learning disabilities? For family members, who may have a sibling, with autism, grandparents, aunts, uncles cousins, friends, and yes even teachers, buy the book, it could make a world of difference in understanding this disability, in turn with help you to make a difference. Even if you are friend or close neighbor to a parents that have an autistic child, buy the book, to help you to help the parents. Grant them the comfort in knowing they have you to turn to if they need to talk, or even if they need to get a couple of hours. The better you are knowledgeable about this disability, the better you are able to make difference.

    I hope you enjoy this book as much as I do, it's very helpful. Happy reading!

    After reading this book, it opened my eyes to the world of Autism. Though I can relate to it because I suffer from depression. We are not always able to communicate verbally our feelings all the time. Its hard but I do find that writing in a journal or even on my laptop helps me get through it. Writing poetry also helps. The outside world never really knows what goes on with people who have an unseeable condition. They cant even imagine the strength it takes to deal with these problems. Terra James opens up our eyes just enough to understand autism and how there mind works. Thank You for this short story. I loved how you used poetry too

    I wa lucky enough to receive a free copy of this in exchange for a fair and honest review.

    This broke my heart and put it back together in with an new understanding.
    Wonderfully told story of a young girls struggle.
    I cannot say I sobbed as I read this as the tears just flowed down my face.
    Wonderful!!
    I would have happily paid for this and I did buy it, even though I already had a copy.
    Congratulations Terra James, I thoroughly enjoy this, even though it shattered me at moments.

    Everyone else seemed to love this book. I question if maybe I'm just not sensitive enough, but I just wasn't that excited about it. It's been over a week since I read it, and I've looked through it again and re-read parts, and it hasn't changed my opinion any, so I have to write my experience with this book. After all, that's what a review is, is one person's opinion, right?
    The book basically follows a pattern of a small portion telling the story of what's going on with the autistic girl who is the focus of the story, and then a journal entry supposedly written by the girl (or copied from her mother), which is usually written because she was forced to write something in her journal and her writing takes the loose form of a poem. I guess my problem was with the fact that these poems seemed to me way to deep to have been supposedly written by a twelve year old child. And she never seems to understand what she wrote, like it just came out of nowhere. Occasionally instead of doing her own writing, she copies something out of her mother's journal, yet the writing style is identical to that of the child herself.
    While the overall message of the book was beautiful, the actual mechanics of it just seemed off to me.
    I do admit that I have not had much experience with autistic children. When my children were growing up, everyone was concerned with ADD or ADHD (attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), and nobody paid much attention to autism. But many children face a variety of challenges. My oldest child was a creative, gifted child who developed schizophrenia as an adult and continues to live with it for the rest of her life. My youngest child was speech delayed and attended a special preschool for children with disabilities. So I'm no stranger to having to face living with and loving children who cannot express themselves the same way most people do. I guess what I'm trying to say is that, while I have the utmost respect and admiration for parents and children dealing with autism, everyone is a special child in their own way.
    The poems in this book are deep and beautiful. The message is beautiful. But it just wasn't put together as well as I would have liked it to be.
