Beautiful eyes : a father transformed / Paul Austin. by Austin, Paul, 1955- W.W.

Summary:  "In 1987, Paul Austin and his wife Sally were happily anticipating the birth of their first child. He was a medical student and she was a nurse. Everything changed the moment the doctor rushed their infant daughter from the room just after her birth, knowing instantly that something was wrong. Sarah had almond-shaped eyes, a single crease across her palm instead of three, and low-set ears -- all of which suggested that the baby had Down syndrome. Beginning on the day Sarah is born and ending when she is a young adult living in a group home, Beautiful Eyes is the story of a father's journey toward acceptance of a child who is different. In a voice that is unflinchingly honest and unerringly compassionate, Austin chronicles his life with his daughter: watching her learn to walk and talk and form her own opinions, making decisions about her future, and navigating cultural assumptions and prejudices -- all the while confronting, with poignancy and moving candor, his own limitations as her father. Paul Austin is the author of Something For The Pain, a memoir of his experiences as an emergency room physician"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Memoirs.
