Amy loves Matthew and he loves her back. This is their story.
Amy is unflinchingly honest about her limitations. Born with cerebral palsy, she can't walk or talk without help. But trapped inside this uncooperative body lies a brilliant mind and a luminous spirit -- a girl capable of truly loving and worthy of being loved in return. Matthew has his own set of challenges -- a mind consumed by unwanted repeated thoughts, obsessive rituals and a crippling fear that he can't explain. But underneath all of the anxiety lies a deep seed of hope for someone to come along who believes in him...This is the story of Amy and Matthew. It may not be a fairy tale romance or set in an imagined world far from our own. But the love they share is real. And yes, there's magic in it.
Staff Review
Have you ever wondered what it's like to love someone for who they really are? Well, this is what Amy & Matthew is all about. Their heartwarming tale reminds us that we are all human being regardless of whatever disabilites we might have, be it physically or mentally. Amy's straightforwardness is such a fresh take on what would be just another teen love story.
