 unforgetable July 1, 2010
Michelle C. Sickini (montreal, canada)
Heartfelt & candid. Ian really gives the reader a new perspective on mental health and society's role while taking the reader through all his trials & tribulations of raising a son who's severely handicapped. An unforgetable story...
Required Reading for Understanding Special Needs May 12, 2010

Brown's book should be required reading for anyone who works with families of children with special needs. It is both insightful and masterfully written.
Ian Brown has bravely opened his soul to us -- thereby enabling people who otherwise have not lived the experience of having a child such as Walker, the much needed lessons of what that journey is truly like. I do have such a child, and I appreciate the clarity with which Brown has managed to encapsulate all of the emotional, psychological, and physical aspects that are part and parcel of such a life.
My thanks to Ian for having the courage to see this through to completion, and a willingness to share such intimate and often painful experiences with the world.
Very moving March 25, 2010

I ordered this book because my Son has the same condition as Walker. I feel this book will help any parent who has a special needs child as it depicts the emotions that you go through raising such a child. By reading this book,through the words and thoughts of Ian Brown has helped me understand my little boy a little more. Thank you Ian.

Well written, a page-turner. Ian Brown covers so many things with this book - ethics, our humanity, L'Arche, finances, genetics, research, exhaustion and more all while telling the story of caring for his son. It's not sentimental. It is honest. This is a very good book.

I read Globe and Mail series and was riveted by Ian Brown's story. This book takes you through the ups and downs of raising a child with a disability and gives you a glimpse into their lives.
I loved it.
