This week I'm going to talk about Being the Other One by Kate Strohm. This book is full of first person accounts of being the sibling of a child with special needs. This book is focused on being realistic, not uplifting. I found much of it to be down heartening. However, if I were a sibling of a child with special needs I may find this refreshing, and liberating. As a parent, though, I found it discouraging.
