Expecting Adam: A True Story of Birth, Rebirth, and Everyday Magic by Martha N. Beck
3.0
I was hoping to rate this book higher than 3 stars, but just found it so-so. Being a mom, I was interested in reading it. Although, I do not have a child with Downs Syndrome, I was interested to hear Martha's story.
I think the part that bothered me the most was the reactions from her family, friends and colleagues. Her family basically ignored the fact she was expecting a child with Down's, even joked about it. I would have liked to have seen how the family was once Adam was born.
It also bothered me the how the people of Harvard treated Martha & her husband.
