Review

"Laura Shapiro Kramer is a lioness, a powerhouse, and an iron advocate...Uncommon Voyage is a beacon of light for anyone helping another chart a healthier, stronger, more joyous life through informed alternative choices."
—Sherry Suib Cohen

"Kramer reveals herself to be a gifted writer...The alternatives found by this assertive, never-give-up mother are worth sharing."
—Library Journal

Product Description

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.
