Sarah Merriman is just like any other urbane young woman in her
twenties... She has a job in a Central London hotel, a boyfriend,
commutes to work on the Tube, eats out, goes to films and
theatre... This is all the more remarkable (though not to her)
because Sarah was born with Down's Syndrome. Her parents having no
prior inkling, it came as a huge shock to them that they now had a
daughter with a disability. In 1999 her father Andy wrote a frank
and moving book, A Minor Adjustment, about the challenge of her
early years. The national publicity it gained saw it become a
treasured resource for other families on a similar journey. Now he
follows up with the inspirational story of how his daughter, whose
favourite expression is `I love my life', has grown up, featured on
Michel Roux's compelling Kitchen Impossible series, and is making a
life of her own at a time when pre-natal testing is threatening the
very existence of people with Down's syndrome. Sarah has
contributed throughout.
