★★★★

I just finished Chapter 1 and had to stop to breathe. The way it explains what's happening inside the body without making you feel stupid is exactly what I needed. It's not warm and fuzzy fake hope, but it's honest in a way that actually helped me stop spiraling. Worth the read just for the first chapter alone.

★★★★★

The information is solid and the tone is friendly, but I wished it went a little deeper in places. It's a good starting point for someone totally lost, like I was. That said, I did appreciate that it didn't sugarcoat anything. It's a fine guide, just not the last word on everything.

★★★★★

This guide explained the genetics to us in a way the genetic counselor never did. For the first time since our diagnosis, my wife and I felt like we understood what was actually happening instead of just staring at a piece of paper. The humor in places felt okay too — like the author knew when to laugh with us, not at us.

★★★★★

As a grandparent who was completely out of my depth, this was a lifeline. The chapter on what to expect day to day helped me know how to help my daughter without smothering her. The caregiver chapter alone is worth the price. It's the guide I wish we'd had a month ago.
