Review title: Where was the editor?
Product review: Considering that I have a dear brother who was born with Down Syndrome (not Down's) in 1964, I had such high hopes for this book. The author's insights into people with Down Syndome, and those who love and care for them are beautiful. However, the author's description of places and events in 1964 do not capture the times at all. For example, no one except scientists used the term Down Syndrome. Mongoloid, however awful it sounds today, was perfectly acceptable in 1964. Other examples are less central to the story, but destracting non the less. For example, 13 year old boys did not go for daily, morning runs in 1977. Few people did. I don't think the interstate system had exit ramps at that time. Nylon stockings didn't come in a wide variety of jewel toned colors....etc, etc. I am trying to get past my frustrations with these incorrect details in order to finish the story. But, I'm struggling.
