Paperback. Condition: Very Good. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A candid and moving memoir of how one woman's pregnancy forced her to confront her definition of how to live a successful life "Slyly ironic, frequently hilarious, [Martha] Beck's 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. They'd 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, that's exactly what happened.

And it worked.   Expecting Adam captures the abject terror and exhilarating freedom of facing impending parenthood, being forced to question one's deepest beliefs, and rewriting life's rules.…
