This review is from: Damaged Angels : A Mother Discovers the Terrible Cost of Alcohol in Pregnancy (Paperback)

This is a wonderful book which deals with the human side of Fetal Alcohol. I know that I will be reaching for it time and again as a reminder of the REAL problem when dealing with our own damaged angels. It helps put things into perspective when reaching that level of frustration we all encounter with our FAS/FAE kids. Teachers, CPS, Doctors, Birth and Adoptive Parents, Judges - PLEASE read this book before you unwittingly do more harm than what has already been done.

This review is from: Damaged Angels : A Mother Discovers the Terrible Cost of Alcohol in Pregnancy (Paperback)

This book is a must read for everyone who wishes to understand why so many Canadians are disadvantaged, forgotten about, and labelled because teachers and medical professionals have deemed them as being lazy, having poor problem solving skills or products of bad parenting.
This book will provide new and MUCH needed accurate and uncanny insights for all those struggling with FASD.

This book has a spectacular impact. The examples of the lives of children living with FASD and their families struggling to cope are portrayed with accuracy and empathy that is rare and profound.
