Product Description
A mother's faith journey in parenting a profoundly difficult child. Answers to questions and hope for anyone who has ever loved a special-needs or severely disabled youngster. Who adopts special-needs or severely disabled children? Why and how do they take on this challenge? Carol Weishampel joyfully opens her heart and home to angelic-looking Darrell--a "shaken", abused baby, whose horrific injuries leave him blind and retarded. But adopting Darrell quickly becomes an hourly, uphill struggle, even for this seasoned mom and professional educator, who holds a doctor of education degree. This single parent and her other, subsequent adopted children literally are held hostage by Darrell's violent temper tantrums and untrainable behavior. What difference can Weishampel possibly make in the life of this uncommunicative boy? What purpose do those such as Darrell have on earth? Weishampel's poignant search for answers to these and other profound questions leaves a helpful legacy of hope for anyone who has ever had responsibility for such a child.
