Too fast for some people. This is the true story of what it's like to live in a world where you can't keep up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBobby was ten months old when my mom and dad rescued him from birth parents who were slowly killing him. He was adopted into our family after a lengthy custody battle. Instead of that settling him, it set off a lifelong struggle to find a place to belong, a place to call home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike an old-fashioned merry-go-round, the world moved at a speed that was just too fast for Bobby. He couldn't keep up, which prevented him from keeping a job, a roof over his head, and the basics needed to survive. The life he dreamt of was always out of reach. No one knew why.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile cultural ideals of what a \u003cem\u003enormal\u003c\/em\u003e life looks like can distort our perspective, \u003cem\u003eChasing the Merry-Go-Round\u003c\/em\u003e allows readers to see the world through the eyes of a person with intellectual and physical disabilities, which can often be invisible, especially at first glance. It's a story about struggle and hope, survival and resilience, and most of all, the gift of acceptance and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelly Bargabos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0999423401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780999423400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boulay Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.58d","brand":"Kelly Bargabos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47199921504511,"sku":"9780999423400","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ecea3f1-d1ff-4fc0-a01a-1e7e1ca59ed2.jpg?v=1756785589","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chasing-the-merry-go-round-kelly-bargabos-9780999423400","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
