This review is from: Fifth Child: The Turbulent
Path That Led to Parenting Our Child's Child (Paperback)
Wonderfully honest and well written. As a 60 year
old licensed clinical social worker AND the grandparent parent of a bright and
imaginative 4 year old, it is indeed both a challenge and a delight. Add to
that, the sadness; when our little girl says,"I miss my mom and dad,"
whom she has not seen since she was 6 months old and whose mother, is my
daughter. Lynne's honest emotions brought tears of joy and tears of sorrow of
experiences that I know too well. Through her and her family's own pain, she is
determined to make her Brady's childhood memorable. Because of you, Lynne, my
experiences are given a voice and are publicly validated. Kahil Gibran says,
"Our children come through us, not from us". Thank you, also, Brady,
for all of your insight. Thank you, Lynne, for writing OUR story AND for
writing it so well.

Even knowing the author personally didn't prepare
me for the knock out prose and sheer honesty of the horror this family went
through and the love of life and each other that they found at the end, Lynne.
You really wrote a winning saga. I was overwhelmed with emotion.
