Bold scholarship is interspersed with scenes from own life and personal experience. Campbell does not retreat from the tensions and complexities of mothering a child with autism, instead bringing to light the need for "unresolved" theologies that pay attention to everyday experience. In doing so, Campbell reveals herself as a courageous, essential, and field-defining new voice. This book will deepen and extend our understandings of disability theologies, and it deserves to be read widely." -- Katie Cro ss</p><br>
