Uncommon Voyage, first published in 1996, documented Laura Shapiro Kramer’s search for alternative treatments for her son Seth’s cerebral palsy in the face of an uncomprehending medical establishment. In this revised and expanded edition, the author redefines the main complementary therapies discussed earlier and explores new solutions she and Seth have discovered.

My husband and I both read this book and it has been such an incredible help to us. We could relate to so much of what the author writes about. She really knows how to connect with her readers. On a scale of 1 to 10, we give this book an 11.
