Expecting Adam Martha Beck "It's called Expecting Adam by Martha Beck. So the book is about the author. It is sort of a memoir, is how it's classified. So Martha Beck is a Harvard graduate many times over, and her husband, and they had a child and she found out she was pregnant again. So she was thinking about terminating the pregnancy, but inexplicably couldn't, didn't want to, felt uncomfortable with that kind of decision. And partway through the pregnancy, she found out that her unborn child was going to have Down's Syndrome, and even with that information she wanted to keep the baby. I thought her style was really easy to read. To me, it was just like somebody telling you stories or something, it flowed really easily. I didn't have a hard time following the story because she led into it well. I would pass this on to a lot of people that I know, people with an open mind who believe in a little magic in the world. I'm actually going to go reread it when I'm done because I liked it so much, and I'm into the story again. Five out of five, absolutely. Loved the book. It's great. It's a keeper."
