Five-time Emmy Award-winning television producer Digger O'Brien gets to the heart of being a dad in his brave debut memoir Pointing Is Rude. When his son Frederick was diagnosed with Autism Digger embarked on an exhausting emotional and often comical journey to find a cure visiting several prestigious hospitals and a long list of specialists-including one who referred to himself as -The Poop Whisperer.- Digger's poignant and occasionally outrageous adventures hit multiple dead ends before taking off in a surprising new direction with the adoption of an infant boy from Ethiopia. Pointing Is Rude chronicles how one person beat back despair and in doing so opened up endless possibilities. It's a book that will make you laugh and cry often on the same page.

*******-An honest riveting work...told with wry wit...that will enlighten and offer hope to readers.-
