5.0 out of 5 stars
Upbeat, supportive book for anyone affected by disabilities, May 8, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Nobody's Perfect: Living and Growing With Children Who Have Special Needs (Paperback)
I first read Nobody's Perfect a few years ago when I met Nancy Miller. I wasn't searching for a book on living with children who have special needs but once I opened the book and started reading, I realized immediately that this was a book for everyone. Not only are we all touched in some way by special needs, we are also faced with life decisions, unexpected changes, catastrophes, emergencies, losses, illness, struggles... the list goes on. There are tools in this book that are valuable to all of us, whether our struggle is parenting a special needs child, or handling an illness or a crises of any type. I remember settling in with the book and beginning to read the opening stories written by Nancy's co-authors: Susie, Diane, Janet and Stephanie, also known as "The Moms." How did they adapt? How did they deal with their emotions? (and there are plenty of them!) What stages did they go through? Admiration set in as I read on. I've been able to take so many treasures from this book and apply them to everyday life. And you will too...
