Catherine is a pretty normal 12-year old girl. The problem is that she has an autistic brother named David who sometimes embarrasses her in front of her friends. In order to help David order his world, Catherine establishes rules for him, like "No toys in the fish tank" and "It's ok to hug mom, but not the video store clerk." During visits to David's occupational therapy appointments, Catherine befriends a boy her age who is a nonverbal paraplegic. She talks with him using Jason's communication book. Through this friendship, Catherine begins to understand that being normal isn't as important as accepting others who are different.
