Summary
A Different Kind of Perfect is a story about parents choosing a child with Down syndrome and the implications of that choice. It’s a story about faith and blessings in an imperfect world that craves and idealizes perfection. It’s also a story about finding God’s perfection through love. Written with an honest voice, George Michael Lane draws the reader into his family’s personal story that Bill Thompson, a retired publishing executive, describes as having the potential to touch a lot of lives. “It’s inspirational, educational, and terribly moving. I’ve certainly left some tears on my copy of the book,” he says. And a reviewer at the Writer’s Edge notes, “The premise of the book is compelling. The focus on perfection—and how the human perspective differs from God’s—is powerful and moving…The struggle with whether or not to terminate the pregnancy is honest and will hit a nerve with a contemporary audience.”
