The Rosie Result
Synopsis
Don Tillman and Rosie Jarman are settled in Melbourne with their ten-year-old son, Hudson, who is struggling to fit in at his new school. Recognizing the same social difficulties he faced as a child, Don sets out to help Hudson navigate the world on his own terms — the Hudson Project — while wrestling with how much to guide his son and how much to let him find his own way.
At the same time, Don loses his university position after a lecture goes viral for the wrong reasons, Rosie's career hits its own turbulence, and his long friendship with Gene comes under strain. The third and final novel in the Don Tillman trilogy considers autism, parenthood, and self-acceptance with the same wit as its predecessors.
