The Berkeley Book: A Story of Hope, Happiness, and Down Syndrome

“You may want to consider putting him into a home,” the doctor said as he pushed a pamphlet featuring a picture of a large, cement structure with barred windows across the desk. Standing, Dad shoved the pamphlet back toward the doctor. “We will not institutionalize our son.” He and Mom walked out of the office, shutting the door behind them. When Berkeley became strong enough, they brought him home from the hospital; and the family started the best adventure of their lives — living with Berkeley! Fall in love with Berkeley through a chronological collection of stories about Berkeley told from a sister’s viewpoint. All chapters include a short, practical help section with insight for family, friends, and acquaintances. Laugh with Laura while she teaches Berkeley to drive. Cry happy tears when God sends an angel to help through those first scary days. Hold your breath when a car of teenage boys descends on Berkeley and Laura on a deserted country road.
