I have a brother with Down's Syndrome who was born in '71 when my parents were told to institutionalize him because he'd "never amount to anything" and he'd "be a vegetable all his life". Knowing this, I could understand the mentality of the characters in this book, but it was still a bit hard to swallow. The best thing about this book was that it reminded me that doing the right thing in life requires strength and a lot of courage.
