My daughter has Rett Syndrome, so this book has been on my reading list for a long time. I thought it was a well written book, very much about the author's own journey of acceptance of her disabled daughter, Kat. It mirrored a lot of the same feelings that I have, but I noticed that I sometimes have very different feelings from the author. I know this book spans 24 years of Kat's life, but I'm impressed how often the author got to "get away" on outdoor adventures often with her other typical children, always finding a babysitter to take care of Kat for days on end. Child care, especially overnight care, always seems like an unattainable dream for me.
