Synopsis

Julia Gray shares a very enlightening, refreshing, and inspirational story about her youngest child, James, who was born with Down syndrome. Julia's purpose for sharing her innermost thoughts is simply to challenge people to have the courage to see things without preconceived notions and prejudices. In these 21 unique short stories, she will captivate you with her openness and brutal honesty. As Andy Savage describes her, Julia is candid, heartfelt, and passionate. She pulls no punches as she describes the joys and pains of welcoming a child with Down syndrome into her life and family. In contrast to those who pretend to have it all together, Julia reveals the blessing and grace that comes through imperfections of life. The stories contained in these pages will inspire and inform you, whether you know someone with special needs or not. As a father of a child with Down syndrome, I could resonate with so many of the emotions, experiences, and steps of faith Julia described in her journey with James. Every parent, family member, or friend of someone with Down syndrome or any special needs should read this book. ~Andy Savage, Pastor, Speaker, Author, and Host of The Andy Savage Radio Show This book makes you laugh, cry, and give thanks, but it also inspires you to experience the love and joy that children with Down syndrome have to offer. God places children with special needs in our paths for a reason, and he is in full control. ~Jo Gilbert, Executive Director, Madonna Learning Center
