Admittedly I am not a huge reader of non-fiction.  I do read it, but not with anywhere near the intensity as I do fiction.  One author of non-fiction I love is Jenny McCarthy.  Say what you want about he views on Autism, but they girl can be funny.  Sadly, I think about some of the things she wrote in her early books and I wonder if she cringes at the thought of having written them (not knowing at the time that Evan was Autistic).  Belly Laughs and Baby Laughs are still two of my favorite books that I get anyone close to me who is pregnant for the first time.  Life Laughs wasn't her best in the Laughing series (as I call it).  But then again she was going through a break-up and dealing with Evan's medical issues.  After the Laughing series came a couple of books about Autism.  I pray everyday that Jack will continue to grow healthy and knock on blog-wood that no one I know has Autism, but still I read these books and it's like a friend is sharing her most private hell with me.  You can't help but feel touched by Jenny and Evan's story.

She does have other books out there that I have not read.  One is not faring so well in reviews on Amazon, but if you're a fan, check them out for yourself.
