Nice plug for our book: The North Orange County Book Sluts of Fullerton, California, recommends: The Unfinished Child by Theresa Shea The Unfinished Child follows the fictional stories of Margaret and Marie, two women separated by decades of time whose lives are both profoundly changed by Down syndrome. Its a multi-layered story that also deals with shifting friendships, marriage, and motherhood, going back and forth in time and posing deep questions about choices and consequences, rather than professing to have cut and dried answers. This book inspired an engaging and revealing discussion for our book club, all of us mothers and one the mother of a child with Down syndrome. Everyone let their guard down and shared their own experiences with pregnancy, disability, prenatal testing, and the choices we have all been confronted with. This is an excellent book club choice.
