While in many ways this book shows its age, in many ways it is still sadly relevant. I am hopeful that we in the medical field are treating people with disabilities better than in 1980, but I know there is still so much further to go. I was a bit disappointed that Featherstone was neutral on the Doman Delcato method, but relieved that her family decided against it.

I don’t normally write reviews of books but this book is by far one I am definitely going to review. Out of all of the books that I have read in my life, this book has really touched me the most. I can relate every much to the themes in the book because I myself have a disabled loved one. The topics she said in her book is true. I ask myself questions about the future, life and care of my loved one. There were moments that I literally paused while reading to think and reflect on my experiences. I do hope someday we will work toward accepting people with disabilities. I highly recommend this book and should also be required reading.
