About this book
Getting a fetal alcohol syndrome diagnosis — for yourself or for someone you love — can feel like the ground just fell out from under you. You have questions. Lots of them. What caused this? What does it mean for the future? What are we supposed to do now? This guide is here to answer those questions in plain language, without a single word of medical jargon left unexplained.

★★★★★I bought this the day my daughter was diagnosed and read it in one sitting. Chapter 1 felt like someone finally explaining things the way a friend would, not the way a pamphlet does. The part about what's actually happening in the brain made me cry, but in a good way — like I finally understood. The question list in chapter 4 helped me walk into our first specialist appointment without freezing up. I've already recommended it to two other moms in our support group.
