"This excellent and challenging new book  must be read by all who really want a secure future for their families.

     "A Good Life is full of good theory, exciting and innovative practice.  We love the wonderful quotes interspersed throughout the intelligent and always thought-provoking text.  A must read for the new millennium!"

          — Dr. Marsha Forest and Jack Pearpoint - Inclusion Press

     "A Good Life presents a clear alternative to formal, professional and legal solutions to the concerns of families who have loved ones with a disability. It leads us on a journey toward security. It is a wonderful roadmap of the essential stops--friends, families, neighbours."

          — John McKnight - Northwestern University, Chicago

     "Read this book and a light bulb goes on in a blaze of clarity. What we want for our sons and daughters doesn't have to depend on the whims of social services and funding programs; it depends on families regaining control of simple, fundamental questions: what do we want? and what is a good life? 

     "This book is joyful. It is also sad, difficult, practical, funny, passionate and profound--just like a good life. It's clear we don't have to be recipients--we can be creators."
