LuAnn: The Trials and Treasures of Raising a Child with Down Syndrome is a deeply personal memoir of family bonds, unwavering faith, and the remarkable paradox when pessimistic expectations become unexpected blessings. It is the story of a couple who chose to raise their daughter as normal as possible regardless of the ambiguous consequences. What followed were decades of relentless care that, surprisingly, facilitated joys, blessings, and moral lessons which touched not only their family, but everyone who came into contact with their daughter. Told through the eyes of a first cousin, this memoir weaves together the challenges of raising a child like her, the support of her devoted parents and brother, and the unexpected treasures revealed to the family. It discusses the involvement of her family in efforts to change how society treated and viewed people with disabilities. The book invites readers to witness the extraordinary impact of LuAnn's life, reminding us that only among the thorns of life can you find a beautiful rose.
