Katherine was a beautiful, perfect baby for the first year of her
life. Then, without warning, she changed forever. She started
crossing her eyes. She cried at night for hours at a time and could
not be soothed. She stopped saying words, stopped crawling, and
began what would become a lifelong habit of wringing her hands.
Hospital visits and consultations with doctors offered no answers
to the mystery. Soon Katherine slipped away to a place her mother
and father could never reach.
In "Keeping Katherine," " "Susan Zimmermann tells the story of her
life with her daughter Katherine, who has Rett syndrome, a
devastating neurological disorder. Writing with honesty and candor,
Zimmermann chronicles her personal journey to accept the changed
dynamic of her family; the strain of caring for a special needs
child and the pressure it placed on her marriage, career, and
relationship with her parents; the dilemma of whether Kat would be
better cared for in a group home; and most important, the altered
reality of her daughter's future. A story of personal
transformation that reminds us that it isn't what happens to us
that shapes our humanity, but how we react, "Keeping Katherine"
shows the unconditional love that exists in families and the gifts
the profoundly disabled can offer to those who try to understand
them.
