Monica Holloway is the critically acclaimed author of the memoir “Driving With Dead People,” described by Newsweek as “unforgettable,” and the Washington Post deemed it “irresistible.” Her bestselling memoir “Cowboy & Wills” is the story of her lovable, brilliant autistic son, Wills, and the remarkable dog that coaxes him into the world. PEOPLE magazine commented: “Readers would do well to listen to this sweet and heartbreaking tale of boy-dog love. There are so many of us, with or without autism, who have our animals to thank for helping us connect.” “Cowboy & Wills” was the prestigious Mom’s Choice Awards® Gold Recipient for 2010. Monica is an official spokesperson for the National Center for Family Literacy and Autism Speaks, raising awareness and participation for two issues she cares about deeply as a mother and author. She is the recipient of the 2011 Women of Distinction Award from the Special Needs Network for work in the community.
