I really liked this book. It takes you into the author's life and her life changing experience. Everything was going great in their lives and they were expecting their second "perfect" baby girl. However the minute the baby was placed in her arms she knew that their was something wrong. Their perfect baby had down syndrome. She takes you throught her very first thoughts and feelings and her struggles to accept the baby and the challenges that will come. It allows you to see firsthand how such a thing changes lives. I can't imagine that anyone gets this kind of news and sees it as a blessing or a great thing(especially at first) but she allows the reader to see her first year and the journey to acceptance and true love.
