商品簡介
On Mother’s Day 2004, when Henny Beaumont gave birth to her third child, the baby seemed no different from her two other little girls. When Henny and her husband learned that she might have Down Syndrome, Henny knew that her life was over. How would she be able to look after this baby, who might die, and manage her other two children? How did this weak little baby, who needed so much, provoke such feelings of hatred and resentment? How could she learn to love her? And if she can’t trust her own reactions to Beth, how can she expect other people to overcome their prejudices and ignorance? Hole in the Heart shares Henny’s journey in an accessible and entertaining way, not only with those who have had a similar experience, but with a wider public—people who may have wondered how to behave towards families with disabled children, or who may be struggling with the idea of being an inadequate parent. Henny’s experience may be very particular and extreme, but we are all competitive and anxious about our children, wondering where they fit in on a scale of achievement, whether we do enough for them, and whether we love them enough. Hole in the Heart is a moving, at times funny, ironic, and refreshingly honest look at living with a child who has special needs.
