An adventure tale of spunk and love in the face of medical challenge and bureaucratic nightmare. If I ever become a Saint - I will surely be one of darkness. I will be continually be absent from Heaven - to light the light of those in darkness on earth. Mother Teresa Cynthia Putman was this sort of saint. When two young intellectuals marry and decide to have one small baby that will fit in a drawer maybe, they begin an adventure that will challenge the way they live and force battle with the powers that be. Cynthia's Song is the story of how a small handicapped child changed the lives of fourteen people and the landscape of a school through the force of her Spirit. A lover of her church and people, her presence informed a new way of teaching small children and deeply bonded her family. Cynthia had a 31 IQ, limited rote speech, a creaky shuffling gait and the power to create love and harmony wherever she went. People simply became their best selves around her, saw the bigger picture, laughed, and soared in spirit. Her hugs literally healed. Medically diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, Rett Syndrome, Epilepsy, and surviving 21 surgeries, Cynthia had entire operating theaters laughing, smiling, and in Flow as they worked. Miss Minor Repair as her father called her, lived in monumental pain yet, cheered those around her through each day with, Come on, come on. Let's go. While in the background, national and state bureaucracies slowly grind forward. This is also an adventure tale of survival and triumph in a world where need is denied and homes are won and lost. A quick inspiriting read of dedication and unwitting heroism.
