Opis

When author Nancy D. Price s son Robert Kevin Price was born with a congenital cataract and was profoundly deaf and severely retarded, she and her husband, Bob, began a journey through unchartered waters, trying to find help for their second child, their first-born son, Robbie. In Truly Blessed, Price begins her family s story where her first book, Living with Robbie, ended. She tells how she and her husband made the painful decision to place Robbie, then seven years old, in a state-run institution. They brought him home several times a year so their other four children would realize he was a part of the family. As the memoir continues, Robbie is an adult and his parents are aging. Price also faces her husband s slow decline due to Alzheimer s disease. The book tells of the effect that both her son s and her husband s limitations have had on her and on her other four children."
