Synopsis

While visiting a small antique store on their honeymoon, John and Beth MacFarlane received the most vital gift of their new life together—a tarnished, old Victor gramophone—along with a charge from the owner to “fill your house with music.” Music, as it turns out, was the only thing that would calm their colicky son, Gabriel. They were soon to discover that colic was the least of their problems when their beautiful, first child was diagnosed with autism. This is the story of how a young family navigates the demanding and frequently heart-wrenching journey of raising a non-verbal special-needs child and ultimately uncovers his unique talent.
