Read this book and the 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?
It's
a profound shift in the way we help our children define themselves in
our families [and in] our communities. 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.
