It's mostly about the author's autistic brother and how she and her family come to terms with it. I thought it was okay.

From the article linked above:
| Quote: | “[The problem] wasn’t Hasidism, it was autism,” said Brown, who now identifies as Modern Orthodox. “There was a lot of ignorance then, not just in the Hasidic world.” She discovered that the same exact conflicts she experienced with her brother played out in secular homes — those she read about in mainstream books on autism disorder in the years following her brother’s diagnosis. “I don’t know if things would have been easier if we were not Hasidic,” she said. “Secular people had the same thing: Love was their faith. When it comes to special children, it’s complicated.”

Well that's reassuring. It definitely sounds like an interesting memoir.
