When Sarah was born with Down's Syndrome her parents, Andy and Allie Merriman, felt their world was shattered. Yet this is the triumphant story of a family's responses to Sarah, their growing love and their learned ability to cope with other people's dismay, pity and bafflement. Sarah is ordinary in many ways. Naughty, playful, energetic and affectionate - and perfectly ordinary to look at. But, like all with Down's Syndrome she is extraordinary and she always will be. Already Sarah has been "talent-spotted" and has been the star of a BBC Radio comedy series centering on the disruptive and enhancing effect a Down's Syndrome child can have on the family.
