"When Bernadette Agius-an ambitious career-focused woman-became pregnant, she imagined her child attending the best schools and dazzling everyone with his wit, charm, and intelligence. But those dreams disappeared when the doctors placed her baby boy in her arms and said he had Down syndrome. While her first impulse was to fight against this new reality, Bernadette soon found the strength to champion her now twenty-eight-year-old don, Richard, in the way he deserved."--From back of book.
