4 posts | 7 read | 2 to read
“In her tender and genuinely beautiful memoir, Kelle Hampton encourages us to not simply accept the unexpected circumstances of our lives, but to embrace them like the things we wished for all along.” —Matthew Logelin, New York Times bestselling author of Two Kisses for Maddy Bloom is an inspiring and heartfelt memoir that celebrates the beauty found in the unexpected, the strength of a mother’s love, and, ultimately, the amazing power of perspective. The author of the popular blog Enjoying the Small Things—named The Bump’s Best Special Needs Blog and The Blog You’ve Learned the Most From in the 2010 BlogLuxe Awards—Kelle Hampton interweaves lyrical prose and stunning four-color photography as she recounts the unforgettable story of the first year in the life of her daughter Nella, who has Down syndrome. Poignant, eye-opening, and heart-soaring, Hampton’s Bloom is ultimately about embracing life and really living it.

A memoir by a woman who is stunned when she unexpectedly gives birth to a daughter with Down syndrome. The book traces her evolution from shock and sadness to love and acceptance. The message is a lovely one; the execution is not so great. The writing isn‘t particularly good.

The only reason I read this book to the end was because I needed it for a reading challenge. What a load of narcissism and shallowness.

What an inspiring story and beautiful picture book! The story of a mother's love, the death of one dream and the rise of another. A young mom whose world suddenly turns because her daughter was born with Down Syndrome, Kelly honesty writes about the struggle of accepting the diagnosis, the unrelenting fears she had for the future and the beautiful girl who captured her heart. An intimate look at mothering a special needs baby.
