&;A wonderful book, funny unbelievably tender, and smart. It shimmers.&;--Anne Lamott
Includes an all-new afterword about Adam.
John and Martha Beck had two Harvard degrees apiece when they conceived their second child. Further graduate studies, budding careers, and a growing family meant major stress--not that they'd have admitted it to anyone (or themselves). As the pregnancy progressed, Martha battled constant nausea and dehydration. And when she learned her unborn son had Down syndrome, she battled nearly everyone over her decision to continue the pregnancy. She still cannot explain many of the things that happened to her while she was expecting Adam, but by the time he was born, Martha, as she puts it, "had to unlearn virtually everything Harvard taught [her] about what is precious and what is garbage."

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A candid and moving memoir of how one womans pregnancy forced her to confront her definition of how to live a successful lifeSlyly ironic, frequently hilarious, [Martha] Becks memoir charts the journey from being smart to becoming wise.-TimeThis 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. Theyd 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, thats exactly what happened. By the time Adam was born, Martha and John were propelled into a world in which they were forced to redefine everything of value to them, put all their faith in miracles, and trust that they could fly without a net. And it worked.Expecting Adam captures the abject terror and exhilarating freedom of facing impending parenthood, being forced to question ones deepest beliefs, and rewriting lifes rules.
