My daughter had to read this book for a homeschool report and really enjoyed the bok. The book arrived in good timing and was in good shape.

Show Me No Mercy: A Compelling Story of Remarkable Courage

As a quick read, this novel reminds me of the harsh realities of society's unacceptance of people with disabilities. At the same time, it emphasizes the love and growth that can come from opening up and understanding a person with a disability such as Down Syndrome. The story climaxes with a tragic twist in this family's life. Despite the sadness to it, the novel was well-written and hard to put down.
