<b>The <i>New York Times</i> bestseller that is an inspiring "story of hope" (<i>People</i>) for parents of autistic children</b> <p/> One morning Jenny McCarthy was having a cup of coffee when she sensed something was wrong. She ran into her two-year-old son Evan's room and found him having a seizure.
