KEEPING KATHERINE(ISBN=9781400052011) 英文原版 mobi 下载 fb2 夸克云 azw3 网盘 pdf pmlz

　　Katherine was a beautiful, perfect baby for the first year of

her life. Then, without warning, she changed forever. She started

crossing her eyes. She cried at night for hours at a time and could

not be soothed. She stopped saying words, stopped crawling, and

began what would become a lifelong habit of wringing her hands.

Hospital visits and consultations with doctors offered no answers

to the mystery. Soon Katherine slipped away to a place her mother

and father could never reach.

In Keeping Katherine, Susan Zimmermann tells the story of her

life with her daughter Katherine, who has Rett syndrome, a

devastating neurological disorder. Writing with honesty and candor,

Zimmermann chronicles her personal journey to accept the changed

dynamic of her family; the strain of caring for a special needs

child and the pressure it placed on her marriage, career, and

relationship with her parents; the dilemma of whether Kat would be

better cared for in a group home; and most important, the altered

reality of her daughter’s future. A story of personal

transformation that reminds us that it isn’t what happens to us

that shapes our humanity, but how we react, Keeping Katherine shows

the unconditional love that exists in families and the gifts the

profoundly disabled can offer to those who try to understand

them.

媒体评论

　　“Susan Zimmermann’s deeply moving book will touch all people,

not only parents. Her courage, her joy, and her hope reach through

her tragedy and offer us all a way of life that is creative, no

matter what the circumstances.” —Madeleine L’Engle, Newbery

Award–winning author

　　“Susan Zimmermann portrays, with honesty, passion, and wisdom, a

chapter of her life that is both deeply terrifying and wholly

inspiring. It is a story of loss and gain, pain and joy, and—above

all—profound truth. It is a story with the power to change your

life.” —T. A. Barron, author of Heartlight, The Ancient One, and

The Lost Years of Merlin series

　　“Susan’s story—and Kat’s—is a profound gift. Susan reminds us

that it isn’t what happens to us that determines our life, but how

we respond to it.” —Marilyn Van Derbur, author of Miss America By

Day
