It's how you love that matters.
Alicia Richards loved her
daughter from her very first breath. Days later, when tests confirmed what
Alicia already knew—that Chloe had Down syndrome—she didn't falter. Her
ex-husband wanted a child who would grow to be a scholar. For Alicia, it's
enough that Chloe just is.
Now twenty-five, Chloe is sweet, funny, and content. Alicia brings her to adult
daycare while she teaches at a local college. One day Chloe arrives home
thrumming with excitement, and says the words Alicia never anticipated. She has
met someone—a young man named Thomas. Within days, Chloe and Thomas, also
mentally challenged, declare themselves in love.
Alicia strives to see past her misgivings to the new possibilities opening up
for her daughter. Shouldn't Chloe have the same right to love as anyone else?
But there is no way to prepare for the relationship unfolding, or for the
moments of heartbreak and joy ahead.
With grace and warmth, Colleen Faulkner tells an unflinching yet heartrending
story of mothers and daughters, and of the risks we all take, both in loving
and in letting go.
