Summary
Unable to have her own child and anxious to adopt, Lucinda is overjoyed when a newborn baby is granted to her and her husband. Devastation follows when the baby, Paul, is diagnosed with a serious genetic disorder that means he… will be intellectually challenged and require medical intervention for the rest of his life. Lucinda’s already-tenuous marriage disintegrates, and she becomes a single mother caring for a difficult and fragile child. With exceptional resilience, tenacity, faith, and very hard work, she makes a successful life not just for herself but for her son. Summer camp changes Paul’s life, and Lucinda finds a new partner and love. The reader cheers for Paul as he struggles to take his rightful place in society, and for his mother as she works ceaselessly to make that possible. 2014.
