I am hesitant to read this... the meer meantion of natural selection makes me

NOT want to read it. It makes me think of eugenics. devalued children. Can

someone braver read it first and tell me if there is a happy ending? Is the lie

dispelled? The writer is a journalist so maybe he's just using his creative

writting skills to reel in the non-special needs parents to tell them the truth?

I thought it was truthful but far enough from our situations that I could

read it without lots of emotional overlap. I don't know if it has a happy

ending but this is a review of a book by a man with a severely disabled son.

According to the review, the man's feelings are very honest and hopeful. I

don't know if I want to read the book or not.

I downloaded the sample and read a few pages. It opens up with a brutally

honest account of life with a severely disabled child. A lot of it is sooo

familiar - like trying to change a full diaper without it getting smeared

all over the walls and wondering how you're going to be able to do it when

your kid is 20 and you're 60. I might go ahead and read the book. I'm still

reading The Boy from Baby House 10, so it might be a while before I get to

it.
