Life on the Spectrum

In this heartfelt memoir, the dynamic duo of Netflix’s hit show Love on the Spectrum share the story of a mother and daughter living an unexpected life to its fullest potential.

Christine and Abbey Romeo, known and loved by millions thanks to Love on the Spectrum, are here with an inspiring memoir about the surprising, untold life before cameras started rolling, and their time in the spotlight.

As a single mother of two, Christine was used to thinking on the fly—but Abbey’s autism diagnosis turned everything upside down. Suddenly, they faced a world that didn’t understand Abbey’s language deficits, sensory needs, sharp sense of humor, big heart, or scene-stealing sparkle. Before the world knew their names, they worked tirelessly navigating autism support and interventions to build a life full of love, laughter, and hard-won triumphs. Now, they share the challenges they faced, the milestones they celebrated, and the unbreakable bond that carried them through it all.

From the mother and daughter at the heart of the hit Netflix series comes an intimate and deeply moving story about unconditional love, never giving up, and the surprising places life takes you.
