Book Review: “Expecting Adam…” By Martha Beck

How does one share with the world their deepest fears? Head on, I guess. Because Beck has saddled her life to a sprinting horse in “Expecting Adam”. True, while the entire story is about how she had to slow down to completely understand and appreciate her Down Syndrome son, she nonetheless races wildly around the corral before being tamed to the point of acceptance. “Expecting Adam” is a delightful read for all of us and Beck deliciously delivers it by the mouthful.
