Description

The Mother Load by Katy Cox is a heartwarming and thought-provoking novel about family life and the complexities of parenting. When Lucy's autistic son Stanley starts school, she expects things to get easier, but his obsession with Africa and daily outbursts at the school gates make it clear that this won't be a straightforward journey. As Stanley's fifth birthday approaches, Lucy plans an extravagant party to help him connect with his classmates, but her husband Ed has other ideas. Instead of a big bash, they travel to Wales for a simple celebration that allows them to reconnect as a family and find their own way forward. Through the story, Cox explores the challenges and rewards of raising a child with autism, revealing the complexities of family life and the importance of finding one's tribe.
