Family & relationships

A harrowing yet ultimately inspiring memoir of a mother's love and resilience in the face of unimaginable challenges.

When Nancy Ferraro adopted a little boy from Romania, she thought she was saving a life and giving her son a brother. Instead, she found herself battling a wild animal hidden in the body of a boy, a child with a host of developmental disabilities and a violent nature.

When the Bough Breaks is the raw, honest account of a mother's journey through heartbreak, hopelessness, and eventual redemption. This is a story for caregivers who find themselves at that bough-breaking moment, when they must redefine their relationships with their children. It offers a beacon of hope in the darkest of tunnels, reminding readers that they are not alone. This memoir is for those seeking:

Understanding of reactive attachment disorder and fetal alcohol syndrome Strategies for coping with trauma and family dysfunction Inspiration to find resilience and empathy in the face of adversity

Nancy Ferraro is an attorney and the mother of two boys, one of whom was adopted from Romania with severe disabilities. After almost a decade of advocacy and research, she placed her son George in a group home, where he is thriving, growing, and participating in family life. She writes of her experience as the main caregiver in the family, as most American mothers are, and bearing the burden of guilt and responsibility when things go awry.
