	Bloom : finding beauty in the unexpected : a memoir Description: 277 p. : col. ill. ; 25 cm. "Bloom is one of the most emotionally stirring books I've ever read. Kelle Hampton writes with such breathtaking honesty that I actually felt as if I were in the room with her when she gave birth to Nella... and I cried along with her as her initial fears about baby Nella proved true. But mostly, I celebrated as Kelle fell madly in love with Nella and began to realize that being her mother is nothing short of her preordained purpose. This story is a reminder that perfect, when it comes to human beings, is such a relative (and irrelevant) term... and that a mother's love for her child is a powerful, eternal, unshakeable force." - Ree Drummond." - BOOK JACKET New York, NY William Morrow an imprint of HarperCollins 2012 B 820 HAM Lists: Down syndrome favourites.

How do you deal with the conflicting feelings, a heart assailed by overwhelming love and overwhelming fear, guilt and anxiety as your expectations are rerouted? This happened to Caroline White.
