Romy Wyllie’s Book “Loving Andrew” to Shine at Printers Row Lit Fest 2024
This narrative illuminates the lesser-known aspects of schizophrenia within the Down syndrome community, fostering understanding and empathy among readers from all walks of life.
Her account of the history and science behind the disorder is thoroughly researched yet highly readable, and she evenhandedly discusses the possible impacts of modern prenatal genetic testing… Transcending this aim, her book is as richly absorbing for casual readers as for caregivers and loved ones of Down syndrome children and adults. This clear-eyed, intelligent memoir is an invaluable resource for anyone whose life is affected by a developmental disability. Kirkus Reviews
