"A fantastic voyage into two different kinds of minds. Absolutely riveting." -- Temple Grandin, author of "Animals in Translation"

"If you ever wanted to learn anything about what Asperger's syndrome is really like, this is the book to read."-- Valerie Paradiz, Ph.D., author of "Elijah's Cup" and "Clever Maids"

"This remarkable book puts a human face on Asperger's syndrome by taking the reader into the thoughts and feelings of two extraordinary and gifted individuals. I have worked with children and adults with Asperger's syndrome for decades, but the Newports' book has given me more salient information about this puzzling disorder than can be found in any textbook. "Mozart and the Whale" is an important and valuable book that tells its story with respect and dignity. It will greatly enhance your understanding of these special folks...and the disorder that impacts them daily."-- Richard Lavoie, author of "It's So Much Work to Be Your Friend"

"Through their struggles and triumphs, Jerry and Mary Newport show us all what it is to be human and how love truly can conquer all." -- Stephen Shore, author of "Beyond the Wall: Personal Experiences with Autism and Asperger Syndrome"

"Where most tales of tribulation pander to sentimentality, Jerry and Mary take us on their journey to love with gut-wrenching honesty and genuine poetry."-- Eustacia Cutler, author of "A Thorn in My Pocket: Temple Grandin's Mother Tells the Family Story"
