According to reviewers, Expecting Adam is a poignant, challenging, and achingly funny chronicle of the extraordinary nine months of one woman's pregnancy with a child with Down syndrome. By the time the baby, Adam, was born, his parents were propelled into a world in which they were forced to redefine everything of value to them, put all their faith in miracles, and trust that they could fly without a net. And it worked. It is more than a mother's story of parenting a child with Down syndrome; it reveals the frailties of the mind and the strength of the human spirit. www.amazon.com.
