Description
Rachel in the World narrates Jane Bernstein's struggles as her mentally disabled daughter Rachel grows older. Beginning in Rachel's fifth year and ending when she turns twenty two, the book tells of their barriers and successes with the same honesty and humor that made Loving Rachel, Bernstein's first memoir, a classic. Bernstein's linked narratives center on family issues, social services, experiences with caregivers, and Rachel herself--difficult, charming, hard to fathom, eager for her own independence.
