Delightful!,
By
This review is from: Don't Sing Any Sad Songs: A Down Syndrome Daughter's Joyful Journey (Paperback)
This is a delightful book. I will never see a Down Syndrome person the same again. My forced concerned will now be a smile. The part of me that did not understand is now ready and able to embrace and accept all children as precious gifts from God. Although this book teaches, it is not heavy reading. It reads like a story. Each line entices you to the next. At the end, I was wishing for more. This is a story of an average, normal family whose love for the Lord gave them the courage and strength to accept their precious daughter the way the Lord handed her to them and prepare her for a life that would touch us all. Thank you, Rosalie!

Couldn't Put It Down!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Don't Sing Any Sad Songs: A Down Syndrome Daughter's Joyful Journey (Paperback)
This absolutely delightful book was a "page-turner" that I couldn't put down! I read it all in one afternoon. It's the story of a regular family with problems like everyone else, and who have a deep faith in God. Becky, the down-syndrome daughter, puts them in their place time and time again with comments like "Can't you people act normal?" I laughed so hard and yet was so touched. I recommend this book not only for families with a down-syndrome child but for every family who grows, laughs and cries together.

This review is from: Don't Sing Any Sad Songs: A Down Syndrome Daughter's Joyful Journey (Paperback)
Reading technical and how-to books about Down Syndrome can be depressing and frustrating after awhile. I needed a break, something up-beat and positive, about a real family.
This book is it! I loved every minute of it - couldn't put it down - had to read it all in one sitting. It is about Becky, the Icenhower's delightful daughter, and her journey from baby to independent adulthood. It is just the sort of encouraging, heartwarming story parents of children with DS need to hear. In the coming years, I will read and re-read this book. Wonderful!
