 Rating:  - Actually disappointed in this book as a wholeI was so excited to get this book right when it was released but was generally disappointed in it. There were many VERY good stories that I absolutely loved, but overall there was something about it that lacked the really personal connection and everyday stories.

My daughter is such a beautiful blessing to our family and a spot of sunshine to all who meet her. You could be having the worst day and a smile from her will turn you around.

Rating: - Comforting and inspiring!A wonderful book, often funny, always comforting in that I was reassured we WILL get through this (whatever the "this" is at any given moment!!) A great book for anyone who KNOWS someone with a special-needs child, to have a better understanding of where our time and energy can go.
