Mother Warriors (by Jenny McCarthy)

MOTHER WARRIORS by Jenny McCarthy (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

When Jenny McCarthy published the story of her successful efforts to save her son from autism, she received an overwhelming response from other parents of autistic children who wanted to share their own stories of success. Here is an inspiring collection of recovery stories, each as unique as the child it features.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Earphones®-winning narrator, Tavia Gilbert. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“Tavia Gilbert gives an inspired reading that brings a human face to the amazing recovery stories.” (Publishers Weekly)

___________________
When Jenny McCarthy published her story of her successful efforts to save her son from autism, the response was tremendous, including a number-three rank on the New York Times best-seller list. What she hadn’t anticipated was the overwhelming response from other parents of autistic children who wanted to share their own stories of success.

No two autistic children heal in exactly the same way. And in her new book, Jenny expands her message to share recovery stories from parents across the country, showing how each parent fought to find her own child’s perfect “remedy of interventions.” Along the way, Jenny shares her own journey as an autism advocate and mother, as well as the continuing progress of her son, Evan. Emotional and genuinely practical, Mother Warriors will inspire a generation of parents with hope.
