Story of Down Syndrome

The Year My Son and I Were Born: A Story of Down Syndrome, Motherhood, and Self Discovery by Kathryn Lynard Soper tells the journey of a mother's struggle with her newborn son, Thomas's diagnosis with Down Syndrome. In this book, she describes facing her deepest fears, weaknesses, ignorance, prejudice and her limitations as a mother and human being. Soper also has to couple her struggle with the demands of caring for Thomas, juggling the rest of her family needs (which includes six other children) and facing the worst depression of her life.
