When Jamie B rub was born with Down syndrome in 1991, he was immediately subject to the medical procedures, insurance guidelines, policies, and representations that surround every child our society designates as disabled. In this wrenching yet ultimately inspiring book, Jamie's father, literary scholar Michael B rub , describes not only the challenges of raising his son but the challenge of seeing him as a person rather than as a medical, genetic, or social problem.
