Book: ‘Spelling love with an X’

November 15th, 2007

From the Boston Globe, Wellesley Townsman:

A new book by Clare Dunsford, associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences of Boston College, chronicles her life raising a son with Fragile X syndrome.

Dunsford uses poetry and candor to document a condition the world knows little about by inviting the reader into snapshots of the disability that has been woven throughout the fabric of her life — from coming to terms with her role as a carrier to the poetic retelling of the roller coaster that is life with her son.

The book’s website is here.
