“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. This week's pre-publication “can't-wait-to-read” selection is:
From Amazon:“In her tender and genuinely beautiful memoir, Kelle Hampton encourages us to not simply accept the unexpected circumstances of our lives, but to embrace them like the things we wished for all along.”
—Matthew Logelin, New York Times bestselling author of Two Kisses for Maddy
Bloom is an inspiring and heartfelt memoir that celebrates the beauty found in the unexpected, the strength of a mother’s love, and, ultimately, the amazing power of perspective. The author of the popular blog Enjoying the Small Things—named The Bump’s Best Special Needs Blog and The Blog You’ve Learned the Most From in the 2010 BlogLuxe Awards—Kelle Hampton interweaves lyrical prose and stunning four-color photography as she recounts the unforgettable story of the first year in the life of her daughter Nella, who has Down syndrome. Poignant, eye-opening, and heart-soaring, Hampton’s Bloom is ultimately about embracing life and really living it.This title will be released April 3, 2012.
This sounds amazing and gorgeous. I am SO adding this to my list. Thanks for spotlighting it.
ReplyDeleteI just love Kelle's blog (www.kellehampton.com if you haven't seen it)! I am usually too cynical and sarcastic for her brand of goody gumdrops, but I fell in love with her family and now I make one snark-free exception in my day to read her entries.
ReplyDeleteI checked out her blog. She's pretty freakin' amazing. I can see why you make the exception ;) She's inspirational.
DeleteAww this sounds like a really cute book! Great pick!
