Educational Book with Something Extra

What makes this book more than just a thorough discussion of Cognitive Disorders are the portions written by Carolyn Hoard. The fact that she has experienced this disorder firsthand gives her account a vulnerability and relevance that mere facts lack. Young readers should benefit from her candor and honesty--and those of us who have experienced this disorder (whether in ourselves or in our parents) can gain hope from what she has written. This is a positive, hopeful look at a disorder that has become increasingly common. The facts are accurate and clear--and Ms. Hoard's intelligence, anger, and hope shine through her entries, like a friend's hand reaching out to those of us who share her pain.
