By: Elaine Evans

Narrated by: Jess Wright

Mallory is autistic …… and her mom, Laura Givens is on a mission to give her daughter the best life possible. Despite Mallory's autism, anxiety, and depression. After pushing her denial and fears aside, Laura is determined to get Mallory the help she needs and won't let anything, or anyone, stand in her way.

Not even her husband, Scott, who is fiercely loyal. He loves his family with his whole heart and will protect them at any cost. So why does his daughter having a disability bother him so much? And why is he so against his wife seeking answers?

Ever since she was a little girl, Mallory has wanted to feel "normal." It's difficult growing up, never wanting to be touched or dealing with the unique challenges that anxiety and depression throw at you. Suffocated by her parents' care and concern, Mallory struggles to fit in with the neurotypical world around her.

Will Laura and Scott come together as they tackle family indifference, unhelpful teachers, teenage angst, and first love to give Mallory the life she deserves? Can Mallory come to terms with her autism and mental illness on her personal journey of self-discovery? Will she ever Become Mallory?
