Being left out and alone can feel terrible. Marley is one such person. She isn't like anyone else and has a hard time fitting in. Her parents worry that she'll never find anyone to love. But life always has a different plan. It's not about someone to love, it's about allowing someone to love her for who she is. This book is now available on Amazon. Hope you enjoy.
Synopsis
‘She’s different,’ the doctors had said.
‘What do you mean different?’ Marley’s parents had asked.
The two year old had hid under the table away from it all.
Marley was no ordinary woman. At the age of two her parents
had been told that she was special. Without many people to understand or help
her much, Marley would bury herself in figures. Maths and patterns were the
only things that calmed her down. Her genius pushed her through school –
although it was lonely – to where she became a maths professor. Not the easiest
thing for her.
Excerpt
For a moment, she gazed at her dark brown eyes as she
looked through the mirror. No own could ever tell what lay behind those eyes.
Even she didn’t know what lay behind her eyes. Life for Marley had never been
easy. It was quite obvious there was something wrong by the time she was two.
It seemed as though there was something not quite right. She was never able to
blend in with other children, she loved to sit beneath a table, and loathed to
be touched. It overwhelmed her mother Doris. She’d so wanted to touch her
daughter, but Marley wouldn’t let her. Scott, Marley’s dad had been able to
cope with it a little better. It wasn’t easy, but he also accepted that their
child was never going to be like any other child. It had been confirmed by
doctors that she was autistic. It was hard to say where she was, because of the
broad spectrum. What happened with other children, didn’t necessarily mean it
would happen to Marley.
There was one thing that Marley was good
at and that was numbers and patterns. She could spend hours just working a
puzzle or working mathematical problems. It seemed that there was something special
lying underneath it all.
Marley took the toothbrush from the cup
and put a blob of toothpaste on it. She set the timer on the side of the sink
at two minutes and began to brush. As soon as the timer went off, Marley rinsed
her mouth. Next, it was her face. She washed her face with great precision. It
wasn’t always the case, but sometimes the time it took her to do something was
important. The shower was next, and within ten minutes she was out and ready to
get dressed.
