In 1980, babies with Down syndrome were still referred to as mongoloids. And one of many assumptions that has been proven incorrect, is that only women above the age of 35 give birth to babies with Down Syndrome.

Debbie was 25 years old when Leah was born. The country doctor in her small town told the young mother she could put her baby into an institution. But it was too late.

Debbie had looked into her baby's eyes...baby Leah had looked into her mother's eyes, and they had fallen in love. Debbie's story about her and her daughter learning to live and grow together was written because she could not, not write their story.

Leah met her world head-on as a person with an extra chromosome, that gave her no perks. This story is honest, it is raw. It does not sugarcoat the challenges that Debbie faced raising a baby with disabilities into adulthood. It does not gloss over the challenges that Leah faced growing up different. And, this story does not hide the fact that not one moment of this journey would have been possible without faith in Jesus Christ.

Inevitably, this mother and daughter became teachers to one another, repeatedly drawing on God's Strength. God was always by their side. And as you will read, Leah made sure they never forgot.
