I am reading Life with a Superhero, Raising Michael Who Has Down Syndrome, by Kathryn U. Hulings

It is a mom's story. She adopted a boy with Down Syndrome and it shows her triumphs and struggles helping him navigate a fulfilling life. It's a beautiful story of love.

I finished it this afternoon. Really, really loved it. It shows you a different side of things. Not very clinical, just the real, everyday stuff filled with challenges and hope.

I didn't see it available for kindle, I'll have to check the library. I've been meaning to get lost there for awhile anyway!
