Harmony
By Carolyn Parkhurst
The story of a family with an autistic child. They try everything, but their lives remain chaotic. The parents move the family to "Camp Harmony," a residential camp for families with children with special needs. The camp director is a charismatic fellow, who turns about to be someone other than the person he represents himself as. The Hammond family is one of the core group who lives and works at the camp, while other families come and go, staying for a week to experience the "back to the land" lifestyle, which hopefully benefits their special needs children.
The ending is shocking, but not surprising, as slowly it becomes apparent that their leader is not who they think.
Rating: 3/4
Recommendation. Not really.
