"Love in the New Year touched my heart in so many ways, and all of them wonderful. Lisa Farmer paints an honest portrayal of a single mother nurturing a child on the spectrum in a way that could inspire any parent of any child. She manages to convey a plethora of strong emotions by means of everyday scenarios and gestures. Her writing is a step above ordinary prose and heartfelt without becoming maudlin. Her characters are strong-willed, caring and totally believable. And more than once she brought a tear to my eyes." -PK Norton, author, "The Amy Lynch Investigations"
