Raising Faith
The Ups and Downs of Raising a Child with Down Syndrome
Adult Non-Fiction
An essential read for moms, dads, family members, teachers, and anyone who loves a person with Down syndrome. Rather than having a book about caring for a child with Down syndrome written by a doctor, this one is a wonderful memoir and guide written by a mother. It's a personal message, while also educating other mothers or family members on what they can do to help make things easier through the wonderful and difficult times. The author leaves nothing out. In this page-turner, you will not only learn useful tips and strategies but will feel as if you are no longer alone as you laugh and cry reading her stories and those of other moms. Stories of happy and memorable times, of stressful and rough times, of times when faith and hope were all they had, and of times when nothing sounded better than just running away. This mix of emotions truly makes this story enticingly raw and relatable. Ultimately, through the good and the bad, the author's daughter has been nothing but a blessing in her and her family's lives. Gina reassures and encourages readers to hold onto faith that God will always provide for them.
