Advance Praise for The Year My Son and I Were Born
“Taking us through her first year as the mother of a child with Down syndrome, Kathryn Soper shares the contradictory emotions, self-doubts, and even spiritual questions that many parents experience during that time but rarely admit even to friends. Along the way, her graceful, unsentimental, and gently humorous writing takes us through many struggles: navigating unfamiliar medical terrain, nurturing her six older children, keeping her marriage intact, and, above all else, accepting her son for who he is. In the end, she comes to see how to live life in a new way–and so did I.”
–Rachel Simon, author of “Riding the Bus with My Sister” “”The Year My Son and I Were Born” is a story of how sometimes life’s lessons come at great personal cost–but that if we allow our hearts to open, even a mother’s deepest despair can be transformed.”
