Editorial Review
Down but Not Out is a true account of the life of a girl who has Downs Syndrome. It is a story that offers a fascinating and revealing insight into Lee's joys and trials as she moves through her childhood years and develops into a young adult. Through conversations and interviews with Lee's parents, teachers, siblings, friends, and with Lee herself, the author sensitively explores the everyday realities and boudaries of a girl with Down's syndrome. What happens when the limitations imposed by Down's syndrome are combined with the usual fluctuations of teenage hormones? How much real understanding does Lee have of herself, her needs, and of her surroundings? How does she respond to praise or critisism? What does she think about growing up, interacting with other people, getting a job and having a boyfriend? There are just some of the questions that are asked in Down But Not Out. The answers are sometimes funny, sometimes sad, often surprising and always insightful. This is a story from the heart that will both entertain and educate anyone with an interest in Down syndrome.

Discovery of hope

2004-12-01
This book was a surprise and discovery for me. I have friends with Down children in the family and was sad and sorry for their tragedy, but Elizabeth Berns's book made me realise that there is "life after Down", that one can be still happy and love this child as any other.

Discovery of hope

This book was a surprise and also a discovery for me. I have friends with Down children and always felt sympathy, compassion and sadnes for their tragedy. Elizabeth Bern's book made me realise that there is "life after Down", that one can love a Down child as any other child and have happiness in life.
