Search - Just Beyond the Clouds

Although the writing is excellent with great character development, the story really seems to be behind the times or from another country! Where I live, people with Down Syndrome are treated with respect, educated and have jobs. Also, the school system is blamed in this book yet teachers are often the best advocates for children with Down Syndrome pushing them to learn to read. I was as a Language, Speech and Hearing Specialist who worked with children with Down Syndrome on their speech so they would speak more clearly. The school systems nowadays provide a lot for children with disabilities including vocational training. This novel is way off-base. Also, the comment in the book that says that someone wouldn't be gay if they were Christian I found to be offensive. Many, many devoted Christians are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered. This author needs to do more research!!!

I enjoyed this book. This is a Sequel to "A Thousand Tomorrows" which I have not read but it was good as a stand alone. Wonderful insight into the world of families with adult Down Syndrome Children.

I was not impressed with this book at all. I thought the first book, A Thousand Tomorrows, was much more interesting. The characters in this book were just "blah" to me. This book is probably my least favorite by Karen Kingsbury, and she's one of my favorite authors.

Excellent follow-up book to A Thousand Tomorrows. I really enjoyed the character development of CJ the younger brother with Down Syndrome. I liked this one better than the first however I do think reading the first is important to development of the second book. Both could stand alone . . . but why miss either?

Karen Kingsbury really hit it out of the ballpark with this book. I read it in 2 days. The romance and love descibed in this novel is really first rate.

Wonderful Book - I loved it !
