On Mother's Day 2001 Henny Beaumont gave birth to her third child.
For the first four hours, her baby seemed no different from her two
other little girls. When the registrar told Henny and her husband
that their daughter might have Down's Syndrome, she knew that her
life was over. How would she be able to look after this baby, who
might die, and manage her other two children at the same time? How
did this weak little baby, who needed so much more from Henny than
her other two children, provoke such feelings of hatred and
resentment? How can she learn to love her? And if she can't trust
her own reactions to Beth, how can she expect other people to
overcome their prejudices and ignorance about her condition?Hole in
the Heart shares Henny's journey in an accessible and entertaining
way, not only with those who have had a similar experience, or the
medical professionals involved, but with a wider public - people
who may have wondered how to behave towards families with disabled
children, or who may be struggling with the idea of being an
inadequate parent.Henny's experience may be very particular and
extreme, but we are all competitive and anxious about our children,
wondering where they fit in on a scale of achievement, whether we
do enough for them, and whether we love them enough.
