انتظار آدم: داستان واقعی تولد، تولد دوباره و جادوی روزمره

The slyly ironic, frequently hilarious(Time) memoir about angels, academics, and a boy named Adam...A national bestseller and an important reminder that life is what happens when youre making other plans.Put aside your expectations. This rueful, riveting, piercingly funny (Julia Cameron) book is written by a Harvard graduate--but it tells a story in which hearts trump brains every time. Its a tale about mothering a Down syndrome child that opts for sass over sap, and its a book of heavenly visions and inexplicable phenomena thats as down-to-earth as anyone could ask for. This small masterpiece is Martha Becks own story--of leaving behind the life of a stressed-out superachiever, opening herself to things shed never dared consider, meeting her son for (maybe) the first time...and unlearning virtually everything Harvard taught her about what is precious and what is garbage.Beck is very funny, particularly about the most serious possible subjects--childbirth, angels and surviving at Harvard. --New York Times Book ReviewImmensely appealing...hooked me on the first page and propelled me right through visions and out-of-body experiences I would normally scoff at. --Detroit Free PressI challenge any reader not to be moved by it. --NewsdayBrilliant. --Minneapolis Star-Tribune
