| Camille's Children: 31 Miracles and Counting by Camille Geraldi, Carol Burris (Contributor)
Hardcover List: List Price: $22.95 |
 | Review - From Booklist , October 15, 1996 A former pediatric nurse, the wife of a pediatrician, and the mother of two biological daughters, Geraldi has become the adoptive mother of 31 children with Down syndrome or neurological disorders. In the "voice" of Geraldi, Carol Burris has written this first-person account of the Florida woman's devoted career in caring for these babies and toddlers, who, in addition to mental retardation, have a spectrum of physical disorders. The book profiles some of the children and interweaves Geraldi's reflections on her motivations and rewards in her work, the incredible logistics of tending to her flock (aided by volunteers and live-in staff), and her establishment of the Up with Down Syndrome Foundation.
