Expecting Adam: A True Story of Birth, Rebirth, and Everyday Magic by Martha N. Beck

challenging emotional funny mysterious reflective tense medium-paced

4.0

Martha Beck offers an inside look at what it was like to conceive and carry a child with special needs in the 80s. Her account is witty, sarcastic, and whimsical. She openly and un-apologetically presents far-fetched theories, directly admitting that they won't be accepted by academic circles. Instead, she insists that she is a reformed cynic herself who has been converted by the very son she carries in her womb, This book helped me see Down Syndrome in a new light and brought wonder to my heart.
