The stories in this
collection provide parents of special needs kids with a dose of both
laughter and reality. Featuring works by so-called alternative
parents who have attempted to move away from mainstream thought, this
anthology carefully considers the implications of raising children
with disabilities. From professional writers to novice storytellers,
including original essays by Robert Rummel-Hudson, Ayun Halliday, and
Kerry Cohen, this assortment of authentic, shared experiences from
parents in the know is a partial antidote to the stories that
misrepresent, ridicule, and objectify disabled children and their
parents.
