Growing up with an older mentally handicapped

| A Friend Like Henry |
Nuala Gardner
|
When Jamie and Nuala Gardner chose a puppy
for their son, Dale, they weren't an ordinary family choosing
an ordinary pet. Dale's autism was so severe that the smallest
deviation from his routine could provoke a terrifying tantrum.
But after years of constant effort and slow progress, the
Gardners' lives were transformed when they welcomed a new
member into the family, Henry, a gorgeous golden retriever
puppy. |

| The Empty Room |
Elizabeth DeVita-Raeburn
|
The Empty Room is one of those quietly revolutionary
books. Through her own grief, through conscientious research
and compassionate journalism, DeVita-Raeburn tells the story
of a forgotten grief. In our culture, sibling grief is hidden.
It is a nameless, faceless loss. DeVita-Raeburn gives these
siblings a voice. And in doing so, she gives us back the story
of our own lives. |
