…they liked it!

I’ve been grateful already for the responses from various people who have endorsed my book, the first official review of A Good and Perfect Gift comes out next week in Publisher’s Weekly. Among other things, they write:

Becker (Penelope Ayers: A Memoir), a Princeton University and Princeton Theological Seminary graduate, knows how to grab a reader’s heartstrings and never let go as she writes about her journey as a new mom to Penny, her first child, who has Down syndrome… Becker’s work is introspective and theologically inquisitive, leading readers to ask the same questions this mother asks herself as her world tilted off its axis.

Between you and me, Peter and I both got all choked up when we read it, and I wanted to share the good news with you all.
