Expecting Adam



I just started this book, Expecting Adam. And I'm loving it.

I've been on sort of a Down syndrome novel frenzy, and this is the first book that I know that I haven't been able to put down. Martha Beck writes the story of how she discovered prenatally that her son had T21, and she describes her surreal, almost supernatural journey with intimate detail.

Everyone should read this. I think that Chase gives me a special connection to her story, but it is so well written that any mother would enjoy it. *or father- maybe. there is an awful lot of pregnancy talk in there, so beware.*

And I really hope that the ending is as good as the beginning since I'm so highly recommending it.
