Bloom


My background is psychology and child/family studies. So, I love books about how families relate to one another, especially in the midst of a diagnosis such as Down Syndrome. Kelle Hampton's book Bloom is an amazing insight into the mind and actions of a family who gets a surprising diagnosis when her little girl was born. Down Syndrome. She tells her story beautifully. She is open, real, and honest as she writes about her daughter's first several months of life and how their family adjusts to having a child with Down Syndrome.

If you enjoy reading memoirs about families, this is a good one.
