Book Review of Keeping Katherine : A Mother's Journey to Acceptance

Keeping Katherine : A Mother's Journey to Acceptance
frugalreader avatar reviewed Also sold as Grief Dancers on + 4 more book reviews


I read this book several years ago after my daughter had been diagnosed with Rett Syndrome. There is a very brief update on Kathyrn, but it is the same book as Grief Dancers and I was disappointed that it was retitled to appear as something new.

The author's writing is both beautiful and nakedly honest. For parents of children struggling with illness or disability, it is an inspiring read that I highly recommend. For readers who do not have personal experience with a disabled loved one, this story sheds light on the inner most feelings of a mother struggling to cope, accept and love her damaged child.
