Goodnight, Brian by Steven Manchester
This story starts with praise for the author's writings.
Acknowledgement page.
1976 winter Years go by as the children are born and they learn of the disease the youngest boy has.
I am very familiar with RI Special Olympics as we have a cousins child who was born with downs syndrome. Great to hear how events are put together.
He was in wrestling part and he also held many jobs along the way, he was introduced to everything they could possibly have him do to see if he wanted to do that for his career.
Love that this story follows the whole family and extended as well. How Mama allows the youngest of them to teach Brian how to do things. The doctors said he'd never talk, walk or do much of anything.
Hope and faith and God answer with solutions. Love nightly phone calls from Mama to Brian.
Love that the story follows all the members of the family as they age and grow up, even wed.
Treasure moments at the beach house as we'd bombard my parents’ house on the island with all of us-15 kids and 10 adults for special holidays.
Miracles is how I sum this book up.
I'm not sure why I never read this when it first came out, glad I was able to catch up on this family.
Received this review copy from the publisher The Story Plant and this is my honest opinion.
