Saving Max by Antoinette van Heugten

1.0

I found this book at the thrift store, I spied it on the Target shelf of books to read a while ago and thought for a quarter it could be worth trying to read. So I picked it up but it will quickly going to the half price book store because it was a decent read I would not be likely recommend the book or reread it again myself.

This is a story of Mother's, it makes you mad, sad and stricken all at the same time. I will warn you it takes some getting into and for the first 100 or so pages it wasn't a story that really captured me. Danielle is a loving mother of a young teenage boy that has a lot of issue's more then just the teenage drama, he is autistic but she makes the hard choices in order to give him a healthy, happy life. She takes him to best mental health facility in which there is more wrong with the doctors who work there then the patients themselves. Max is framed for murder and Danielle risks her career, her life and faces jail time at every turn to prove that her son could not and did murder another young boy. Marianne is the mother of the boy who is murderede and through out the story the truth is revealed on who is a better mother, who understands how to love and who does not. I won't ruin the end for you because if you can read past the court room junk the discoveries is all this book has to offer.
