My favorite Karen Kingsbury novel yet! It's the touching story of widower Cody Gunner and his brother, Carl Joseph who was born with Down Syndrome. CJ attends a "living skills" centr for people with Downs and "finds his wings," Cody wants to protect him, but CJ's teacher, Elle Dalton, champions CJ's cause. Cody doesn't realize that Elle's sister Daisy -- an CJ's best friend -- was born with Down Syndrome also. This common connection leads him to a new understanding of the opportunities that await CJ and Daisy and the realization that they can function in society in a meaningful and eventually, independant, way. This book opened my eyes as well as Cody's! ( )

A woman with Down Syndrome sister has a program to develop independence for such. A man has a similar brother, but is overly protective and opposes such risks. The reader learns much about handicapped people and their lives and about family relationships, as well as loneliness and grief at lost relationship in this Christian nove. ( )
