“There are books so alive that you're always afraid that while you weren't reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?”

That Went Well: Adventures In Caring For My Sister by Terrell Harris Dougan

that_went_well

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!
