 Eustacia Cutler has written the story of raising the nonverbal, often-violent child that Temple Grandin was 50 years ago. A Thorn in My Pocket captures the years it took to nurture her through tantrums, to protect her from the 50's label of "infant schizophrenia" brought on by what was then believed to be "frigid mothering," and to keep her from being warehoused in an institution for the retarded.
Had Eustacia not won her visceral and intellectual battle with the social and medical community as it was then, Temple Grandin might not today be a university professor and perhaps the most famous autistic person in the world. The world would have been robbed of a beacon of hope to all afflicted with the disorder. A Thorn in My Pocket enthralls the reader with the author's death-lock struggle with her own identity, with the protean mysteries of Temple's autism, and with her husband's belief that his daughter should be institutionalized. A story of angst and guilt, myth and reality, family and society, Eustacia weaves a literary masterpiece as broad as all humanity. |
