As a adoptive mom of a child with FAE, this was a must read. And thanks to parents like Michael did not have to wait years and years to find out that my little guy is effeted by this. My little guy has struggled his entire life with the effects of this. He angers quickly, can not always relate to others and how they might feel...Also takes alot personally as if you had done it to him. Even if he is outside a situation. Has had a very hard time catching up weight and size wise. He was failure thrive when I adopted him at the age of 3 and half. He only weight 16lbs. Michael's struggle to find out what was wrong with Adam was a long and I am sure exspensive road. My child will have an advisor as an adult just to make sure he pays his bill and buys groceries. My son is 10 and he forgets to drink and eat until pain or illness occurs. I think if you are interested in a Memoir and alot of facts about FAE or FAS..you will love this book. It is a bit tough to read at points. It took me a while to read it because of all the facts. I am very interested in reading some of Michael's other books.
