Pearl Buck' s inspiring account of her struggle to understand her daughter

Pearl Buck' s inspiring account of her struggle to help and understand her daughter, Carol, a child with mental retardation, has helped thousands of families like her own. New material written especially for this edition, amplifies her story and gives the book an important historical perspective. "...Buck turned away from fiction for this heartfelt 1950 volume about her mentally retarded daughter. The volume broke the taboo against raising the subject (of mental retardation) in public and laid the groundwork for the literature on the disabled that followed." By Pearl Buck, Forward By James Mitchner, 112 pages 6"x9"
