NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A candid and moving memoir of how one womans pregnancy forced her to confront her definition of how to live a successful life Slyly ironic, frequently hilarious, [Martha] Becks memoir charts the journey from being smart to becoming wise.Time This edition includes a new afterword about Adam. From the moment Martha and her husband, John, accidentally conceived their second child, all hell broke loose. They were a couple obsessed with success. After years of matching IQs and test scores with less driven peers, they had two Harvard degrees apiece and were gunning for more. Theyd plotted out a future in the most vaunted ivory tower of academe. But when their unborn son, Adam, was diagnosed with Down syndrome, doctors, advisers, and friends in the Harvard community warned them that if they decided to keep the baby, they would lose all hope of achieving their carefully crafted goals. Fortunately, thats exactly what happened. By the time Adam was born, Martha and John were propelled into a world in which they were forced to redefine everything of value to them, put all their faith in miracles, and trust that they could fly without a net. And it worked. Expecting Adam captures the abject terror and exhilarating freedom of facing impending parenthood, being forced to question ones deepest beliefs, and rewriting lifes rules.

She went to church faithfully with the other brothers and sisters of her ward. When her son was born with Down syndrome, she and her husband left their graduate programs at Harvard to return to Provo, Utah, where they knew the supportive Mormon community would embrace them.However, soon after Martha began teaching at Brigham Young University, she began to see firsthand the Churchs ruthlessness as it silenced dissidents and masked truths that contradicted its published beliefs.
