What happens when love is no longer enough? Jane Bernstein thought
that learning to accept her daughter's disabilities meant her
struggles were over. But as Rachel grew up and needed more than a
parent's devotion, both mother and daughter were confronted with
formidable obstacles. Rachel in the World, which begins in Rachel's
fifth year and ends when she turns twenty-two, tells of their
barriers and successes with the same honesty and humor that made
Loving Rachel, Bernstein's first memoir, a classic in its field.
The linked accounts in part 1 center on family issues, social
services, experiences with caregivers, and Rachel
herself--difficult, charming, hard to fathom, eager for her own
independence. The second part of the book chronicles Bernstein's
attempt to find Rachel housing at a time when over 200,000
Americans with mental retardation were on waiting lists for
residential services. As Rachel prepares to leave her mother's
constant protection, Bernstein invites the reader to share the
frustrations and unexpected pleasures of finding a place for her
daughter, first in her family, and then in the world.
