“A home run”
Mary Kay Shanley is an author and long-time instructor at the University of Iowa’s Summer Writing Festival, where she specializes in memoir. She posted a brief commentary on What About the Boy? at her blog, from which the following is extracted:
“I was intrigued by the controversial practice of infant/child patterning, amazed by the medical barriers that blocked little Joseph’s success, inspired by his parents’ determination to move their disabled son to normalcy, and gifted by the author’s ability to accept that ‘normalcy’ has more than one definition. Read the book. You’ll be richer for the experience.”
