Paperback. Condition: Good. Everything has been hidden from Roxanne G.--her birth name, her sister, her family history--until her boyfriend tries to ingratiate himself by flying in her estranged mother from Tel Aviv. That visit is the start of a tumultuous journey, in which she first learns about a profoundly disabled sister who lives in a residential community in the Galilee and later begins to unearth disturbing long-held family secrets. The process of facing this history and acknowledging the ways she's been shaped by it will enable Roxanne to forge the kinds of meaningful connections that had for so long been elusive. In this way, The Face Tells the Secret is the story about a woman who finds love and learns how to open herself to its pleasures.

When is it necessary to turn away from someone's suffering.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. What happens when love is no longer enough? Jane Bernstein thought that learning to accept her daughter s disabilities meant her struggles were over. But as Rachel grew up and needed more than a parent s devotion, both mother and daughter were confronted with formidable obstacles. Rachel in the World, which begins in Rachel s fifth year and ends when she turns twenty-two, tells of their barriers and successes with the same honesty and humor that made Loving Rachel, Bernstein s first memoir, a classic in its field. The linked accounts in part 1 center on family issues, social services, experiences with caregivers, and Rachel herself--difficult, charming, hard to fathom, eager for her own independence. The second part of the book chronicles Bernstein s attempt to find Rachel housing at a time when over 200,000 Americans with mental retardation were on waiting lists for residential services. As Rachel prepares to leave her mother s constant protection, Bernstein invites the reader to share the frustrations and unexpected pleasures of finding a place for her daughter, first in her family, and then in the world.…
