Lia Martin, a part-time comedian and full-time mom, was excited to enroll her five-year-old son, Tay, in preschool. Tay was an energetic and curious child, with a passion for spaceships and writing lyrics. 

Lia believed her son’s genius at home would lead to a brilliant school career. Little did the mom of two know, she was about to face an audience in the classroom far tougher than any she’d ever encountered at a comedy club. Her hopes were shattered when her son was first labeled as “bad” by his teachers and then diagnosed with ADHD.

After moving from one preschool to the next in search of a caring environment that would nurture her twice-exceptional little boy, Lia’s efforts were met with stony indifference from administrators. The stress of finding a place for Tay took a toll on her marriage, and her life began to crumble from the weight of devastating personal losses.

Finding Einstein is Lia Martin’s powerfully moving journey to uncovering the hidden genius in her child. Honest, humorous, and heart-rending, her debut memoir is testimony to a mother’s love for her twice exceptional son and the lengths she’ll travel to help him shine.
