The moving story of Henny, whose third child was born with Down's Syndrome. From the original diagnosis, the fears and doubts, to the effect on the family, this is a moving and refreshingly honest account. When Henny Beaumont gives birth to her third child, the baby seems no different from her other girls. But when the registrar tells Henry and her husband that the baby might have Down's Syndrome, she knows her life is over. She will have to come to terms with the demands of the child, with both her own and other people's reactions to her. Henry's wit and irony transforms a deeply personal experience into a story that will resonate with every parent. A stunningly honest and poignant book that questions what it really means to be a parent.
