“Listen to Me: How My Down Syndrome Brother Saved My Life” is a memoir penned by the author Lynne Podrat.
This book is about Lynne’s youngest brother’s influence over her life. Her youngest brother Brucie was born with Down Syndrome. Lynne was angry as her parents were in denial about her little brother Bruce. When she questioned God, Lynne got her answer in a dream. God told her that her baby brother is a gift to love, cherish, and protect.
Bruce helped Lynne to discover her mission of being a special woman she was meant to be. By standing up for Bruce, Lynne learned to stand up for herself. Lynne was angry with her parents as they were not able to appreciate Bruce. I appreciate Lynne’s love for her brother. It taught me to be there for your family no matter how difficult time is.
This book will take you on a rollercoaster ride full of emotions. I loved the brother sister bonding in the story. The struggles mentioned in this book are real and families with a down syndrome child could relate more. One important lesson that I learnt from this book is to give extra help to those who are in need of it. The book is written well with smooth narration.
Non-fiction memoir lovers should pick a copy of this book. I am sure you would find it worth your time.
