520    Priscilla Gilman had the greatest expectations for the 
       birth of her first child. Growing up in New York among 
       writers and artists, Gilman experienced childhood as a 
       whirlwind of imagination and creative play. Later, as a 
       student and scholar of Wordsworth, she embraced the poet's
       romantic view of children-and eagerly anticipated her 
       son's birth, certain that he, too, would come "trailing 
       clouds of glory." But her romantic vision would not be 
       fulfilled in the ways she dreamed. Though Benjamin was an 
       extraordinary child, the signs of his remarkable precocity
       were also manifestations of a developmental disorder that 
       would require intensive therapies and special schooling, 
       and would dramatically alter the course Priscilla had 
       imagined for her family. In The Anti-Romantic Child, a 
       memoir full of lyricism and light, Gilman explores the 
       complexity of our hopes for our children, our families, 
       and ourselves, and the ways in which experience can lead 
       us to reimagine those hopes and expectations. Using 
       Wordsworth's poetry as a touchstone, she speaks intimately
       of her poignant journey through crisis and disenchantment 
       to a place of peace and resilience. Gilman illuminates the
       flourishing of life that occurs when we embrace the 
       unexpected, and shows how events and situations often 
       perceived as setbacks can actually enrich us. The Anti-
       Romantic Child is a courageous and inspiring synthesis of 
       memoir and literature, one that resonates long after you 
       finish the last page. The Anti-Romantic Child, Gilman's 
       first book, was excerpted in Newsweek magazine and 
       featured on the cover of its international edition in 
       April 2011. It was an NPR Morning Edition Must-Read, 
       Slate's Book of the Week, selected as one the Best Books 
       of 2011 by the Leonard Lopate Show, and chosen as a Best 
       Book of 2011 by The Chicago Tribune. The Anti-Romantic 
       Child was one of five nominees for a Books for a Better 
       Life Award for Best First Book.
