To Set A Light In Every Tunnel presents a poetic, autobiographical narrative. Part confession, part affirmation the book brings to consciousness the detailed and tangled structures of experience and ensuing memory, embarrassment and enthusiasm, defeat and defiance that, given the dimension of time, constitute a life. The story is a triumph of the process of building identity. It touches universal themes such as courage in view of fear, trust in view of self-doubt and intimacy in view of distance. The search is compelling and inspiring and the willingness to refine identity is as natural as a stone being sculpted into form. The author has woven many threads into a whole. In discovering the power of her expressive abilities through dance, music, art she has freed an inner joy.

Autism's Stepchild is the story of a mother's unfailing struggle over two decades to find adequate care for her daughter Jean. Misdiagnosed and misunderstood Jean had a condition that today would be understood to be autism. Erik Erikson became interested in her and counseled her family. She became the chapter "Early Ego Failure" in his classic book, Childhood and Society. Phyllis D. Grilikhes, the author of this volume, worked with Jean after Erikson left and followed her through adolescence into adulthood to the present day.
