You need a new road map, and fast...\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When Jennifer Groneberg and her husband learned they'd be having twin boys, their main concern was whether they'd need an addition on their house. Then, five days after Avery and Bennett were born, Avery was diagnosed with Down syndrome. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Here, Jennifer shares the story of what followed. She dealt with doctors-some who helped, and some who were disrespectful or even dangerous. She saw some relationships in her life grow stronger, while severing ties with people who proved unsupportive. And she continues to struggle to find balance in the hardships and joys of raising a child with special needs. This book is a resource, a companion for parents, and above all, a story of the love between a mother and her son-as she learns that Avery is exactly the child she never knew she wanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eJennifer Graf Groneberg's exceptional memoir \u003ci\u003eRoad Map to Holland:  How I Found My Way Through My Son's First Two Year's with Down Syndrome\u003c\/i\u003e provides practical insight and emotional support to parents of children with special needs.
