Road Map to Holland: How I Found My Way Through My Son's First Two Years with Down Symdrome by Jennifer Graf Groneberg

5.0

I loved this book. The author was so completely honest in dealing with her son's diagnosis with Down Syndrome just five days after he and his twin brother were born prematurely. She does such a magnificent job capturing the pain and grief and disappointment the comes with finding out your child has special needs. But more importantly she conveys the joys and the heart-expanding love, the redemption and healing a mother begins to feel. I found myself weeping and rejoicing right along with her. Although my son's special needs are different, (he has autism), there are commonalities to our experience and to the experiences of all parents. She provides wonderful insight on how to create a more inclusive world for all human beings and the joy that comes with that possibility. I would recommend this book to anyone.
