I was excited about reading this book, as I am always looking for personal accounts of living with, or raising a child with, hydrocephalus. There aren't many out there, so I am excited when one is recommended. This one, however, I have to say, I didn't care for much. I would actually like to give it 2 1/2 stars. I am thrilled for Mrs. Hall and her son that he is doing very well now, in spite of a rough start in life with "hydro," but there were some inaccuracies in the book that bothered me. For one, she refers to hydro several times as a "rare" condition. It is not, and anyone who knows anything about it can tell you that. Hydro strikes in congenital form in about every 1 in 750 infants. Then there are all the acquired cases due to prematurity, neonatal infection, and so on.

Perhaps the statement that bothered me the most, though, was that no babies survived this condition at the time her son was born with it. I am 40 years old--a year and a half older than he is--and I'm here! I also know many others from my generation who have not only survived, but who have lived well, as I have and continue to do. It probably was a miracle that he lived through all of his early difficulties with it to do as well as he's doing today--38 years old, husband and father. He did have a tougher time than I did as a young child, and as a parent of a high-functioning autistic child, I can appreciate why she feels she's been given a miracle, but let's be factual, too. He was not the first to live through an infantile hydro diagnosis.

I was also bothered by the lousy editing. There were many awkward sentences, and even though I understand that Mrs. Hall is an evangelist, the whole book reads like a revival sermon. I believe only the truly devout would be undistracted by the incessant praising she gives God, and although I can understand why she would want to, it makes the book a lot less appealing to a large readership.

In summary, I am glad Mrs. Hall made the effort to tell her son's story, but I think the book falls short of being a truly gripping and inspiring read due to the less-than-professional editing job and overzealous stating of her Christian faith.
