A Long Walk in the Morning: The Krissy Anne George Story
$15.75
In this non-fiction work that should appeal to any parent who has ever raised a child who was "challenged," a mother shares the heart-breaking frustrations - and joys - of raising her fourth and final child, Krissy Anne, who was born with a very rare, congenital neuro-physical disorder known as Cornelia de Lange Syndrome - a condition marked by mental retardation (ranging from mild to profound, affecting especially cognitive development as well as speech and communication skills) and an identifiable spectrum of physical abnormalities. Over the 40+ years that the book covers, Betty George reveals the hardships and obstacles that this condition presented to Krissy and the toll that it took on Krissy, Betty, Betty's husband Bill, and their three other children.
