review 1: Every thought, fear and question I have ever had about down syndrome and Tommy are in this book. It was like I was reading my own journal. Author and mother, Amy Julia Becker, so beautifully and honestly writes about her experience with her newborn daughter Penny, who was diognosed with Down Syndrome at birth. I especislly love how she talks about her faith, the questions she has about whether DS is from God and how God has a specific purpose for every person. Such a wonderful story about a mother who learns that down Syndrome isn't as scary or as awful as it first seems and how our babies really are "good and perfect gifts"!
review 2: Interesting story. It started out good but towards the end of the book the main character gets more and more honest abou... moret her feelings towards family and friends who, from what I can tell, have the best of intentions. That was a little hard for me to swallow. The family and friends seemed to be trying to help in any way they could and the reaction they'd get from the child's mother was, more often than not, short, rude and sarcastic. I find that disappointing for some reason. less
