As a parent of a Down Syndrome child, I wanted to write a book that thrills the reader as well as educates people about Down Syndrome which is one of the most common genetic defects in the world.
Downs is the story of a special girl named Shannon who has Down Syndrome. She is excited about starting her first year of middle school considering the obstacles she overcame to get there. However, she is not alone in her life’s journey; she has her wonderful sister to help her when things get rough. Her sister has been with her through thick and thin; her sister is beautiful, smart, loving and…dead. Shannon’s sister protects her from the world that sees her as disabled and unable to be productive in society. She will do anything for Shannon; even…kill.view less
