That Went Well: Adventures In Caring For My Sister by Terrell Harris Dougan
Dougan tells of the challenges, heartache, and love
that have been a part of her family's life since her younger sister was born
with mental disabilities. What is
most surprising is that the book is laugh-out-loud hilarious, while describing
the frustrations of advocating for appropriate education for her sister Irene
and others with similar disabilities.
Dougan relates the history of special education laws and progress in
community living settings. This is
a true love story, and a real education for the reader. A most enjoyable
read!
