Letting The Light In: How A Child With Down Syndrome Changed My Life. How does it feel to discover that something is wrong with your baby? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781919376424)

How does it feel to discover that something is wrong with your baby?

Karen thought she had the perfect family. But when her seventh child, Martha, was born with Down Syndrome, Karen's world was shaken to its core.

This memoir tells the story of Martha's early months and years. Karen shares her tears, her struggles, and her joy as she came slowly to accept the many unexpected gifts that Martha brought. Karen's faith, her family, and her very sense of identity were all shaken by the arrival of her baby with Down Syndrome. Martha needed life-saving heart surgery in her first year. Karen questioned everything she had previously taken for granted. The journey was not easy. But it was life-changing.
