A late bloomer’s coming-of-age memoir asks how does one accept and free themselves from visible and invisible disabilities and still retain their sense of connection and humor? Nothing Special is a disarmingly candid tale of two sisters growing up in the 1970s in rural Connecticut. Older sister Chris, who has Down syndrome, is an extrovert, while the author, her younger, typically developing sister, shoulders the burdens and grief of her parents.

I could wholeheartedly relate to the worries and the many joys of having a family member with intellectual disabilities. They are so vulnerable and the constant advocacy for their safety and happiness is so accurately depicted in this book. The gift these family members give back to parents and caring siblings, is the gift of making us better people.
