Many kinds of happinesd
When two polar opposites fall in love it is a recipe for confusion if not disaster. Somehow these people muddle through and I, much to my surprise, fell in love with them. How can you not care about people who are willing to put a small sick child ahead of everything. Made me feel good about people in general.

Happiness
I usually don't read memoirs but this one was very interesting. Very true to life and real. Having a child that your partner didn't want is bad enough but to have that child be ill on top of it must be doubly difficult. I thought Helen was very level headed both about her partner and her little girl. It shows that life often doesn't turn out as we envision yet with a little flexibility and a lot of effort we can get to a good place. I would recommend this to others

Happiness: The Crooked Little Road to Semi-Ever After.....
I am not normally a fan of memoirs but this gem was hard to put down! Both comedy and tragedy are combined in a fast-paced read. This book would appeal to parents during their child bearing years, especially those with special needs or fragmented relationships.

Another Read-It...
I liked this book!

interesting...sort of
This sounded so fascinating--as the mother of a child who spent many months in the NICU some years ago and was born with a birth defect, I felt this would hit me close to the heart.
It didn't.
Parts were interesting, but the majority went achingly slow...it took me 4 times as long as it should have, but I didn't want to give up on it. i had hope.
Things move incredibility fast with a severely ill child, or they can move day by day quite slow or backwards. this felt like it moved just enough to fill a book.

Happiness
Heather is a parent with a passion for her child from the moment she was born. There are many ways a family can be built, not necessarily by marriage. Brian, the father, didn't want to marry, but he soon became attached to the baby too. The baby had a lot of health problems, but both parents were there for her, and they lived happily ever after without getting married.
