Tsara’s mother is Lynette Louise and she hired Tsara as her PR person, writing emails, articles and press releases. Six of her kids were adopted, four boys came from abused homes, and four of the adopted six came with a myriad of challenges, including being on the spectrum of autism. Lynette Louise is the single mother of eight now grown children. In 2013 we reviewed the books Miracles Are Made: A Real Life Guide to Autism by Lynette Louise aka THE BRAIN BROAD and Lynette Louise’s rhyming picture book starring a girl with disabilities – The WingMaker. However Tsara explains it beautifully when she wrote, “Remember, it takes all kinds of personalities to make up a functional and exciting world! Just because we don’t understand one doesn’t make it wrong or bad, just different.” Her life experiences are are so different than anything I can ever imagine. This author is my daughter’s age but she seems to be wise beyond her years. This book is not like most of the other books we write about but Tsara Shelton’s collection of stories will give you lots to think about. As Shelton progresses through life's stages of growing up, she shares the importance and validity of each stage, always with an eye for answers and an infectious joy in the never ending journey that is growing up.I just finished reading Spinning in Circles and Learning from Myself: A Collection of Stories that Slowly Grow Up by Tsara Shelton. Shelton reveals how she dealt with being a pregnant teenager and how her beliefs help guide her parenting. As the oldest of eight children, she discusses in detail her childhood in Toronto, Ontario, and how she learned to live thanks to her brothers and her mother-all on the autism spectrum. Shelton-a mother of four-opens up about the difficult elements in her past, but offers a positive, realistic perspective on those events and more. She shares writings on a range of subjects spanning several stages of her life with topics including women's issues, marriage, prejudice, abuse, mixed-race relationships, equality, culture, and more. Written from a life lived on the edge of society, Spinning in Circles and Learning from Myself, by author Tsara Shelton, offers an insightful and powerfully uplifting collection of ideas and stories.
